Haha very good points chicago, and the best answer i can give you is that its just the way its always been done. Made guys make money with their associates, they kick up to their skippers and the skippers kick up to the boss. I hate to compare real life to tv shows but tony soprano said it pretty good "since the begining shit goes down money flows up" or something like that. And your right he couldnt have possibly known if they were giving him a true 15 percent, he cant exactly audit them lol.
