This is illegal, but I imagine I could see something like this happening naturally and cynically... you get similar effects with realtors and recruiters. Still, there's plenty that are honestly and earnestly do their job for the most part. Often times these people can make deals happen. Taking a relatively basic deal instead of going to trial is often a good call. If he knows he can get something pretty decent and you have to risk $30K+ for a long shot chance.
