&gt; That might not be a bad thing. It could be precisely because it was inappropriate that Zenefits got ahead.<p>...for now. But if the end result is massive fines, plus a bunch of their sales staff (and maybe their superiors) getting thrown in prison under Washington&#x27;s criminal laws relating to selling insurance without a brokers license, plus ruining the company&#x27;s relationship with customers and with the insurers whose products it sells (and possible breach-of-contract actions from those insurers).<p>Well, then, getting ahead for a little while before the whole thing caught up to them isn&#x27;t going to seem like a big advantage.
