the so-called Market Service Agreements, which violated the NY anti trust statues, are what some people are being prosecuted for, but as a matter of fact similar agreements exist and have been approved by some state insurance departments.... a carrier is incentivising it's customers to send it more business and offers additional commission based on production increases with no regard to the profitability of that business...so it's allowed for some carriers but some people may be going to jail over it??!...as screwed up as the industry is and will remain we should at least have no problem recognizing what is and what isn't legitimate compensation
... but in reality it's as clear as mud.
