I don’t mean to imply that any set of people is inherently “in on” such a conspiracy. I imagine it would evolve organically and every individual case would be different. Lawyers get paid to advise people how to avoid legal liability. Managers get paid to handle problems, and sometimes to recognize which problems the people one level up would rather not know the details of. I don’t think it’s off base to say that managers and lawyers would be involved where there is a scheme like I describe.
