Was it that the person set up their own Corp to “manage” the relationship, and then took a fee/commission from the contractor in order to gain access to Netflix

Was it that the person set up their own Corp to “manage” the relationship, and then took a fee/commission from the contractor in order to gain access to Netflix? That sounds more plausible, and akin to what goes on in the corporate lobbying world where “consultants” functionally sell access to politicians or other VIPs - difference being if you work for the person you’re selling access to it’s illegal (sometimes).
