I suspect you're right.
Are you familiar with the story of the Danbury Trashers? They hired several ringers and gave them no-show jobs to get around the salary cap. Not only did they get busted for cap infringement, the owner wound up in prison for RICO violations. And that was in a two-bit minor league.
Getting away with this kind of stuff is not as easy as some people imagine.
