Corporations have been doing illegal things for a while now. All you have to do is to share a reasonable part of illegal proceedings with the government - it's called a 'fine'.

I am not edgy, I am pointing out that just if something is 'illegal' it does not mean corporations won't do it.

The fact that something is illegal means that there is a risk in doing it, and a cost in hiding it. It's not quite the same situation as if colluding were completely legal and above-the-board.
