You do not need to be in the mafia to get favors from others. Nepotism for handing out jobs and giving to one another happens all over. I do not think getting $1,000 a month for getting a company their biggest account should be illegal. If anyone here had the ability to help a friend get clients then obviously your friend should thank you. Maybe average people see this on a smale scale and think it is okay but when larger accounts and more money is involved then the Government officials throw their hands out.
