The $5,000 wouldn't have been paid if the agent was to disclose the arrangement to the vendor as part of the deal. It would be pointless exercise. It sounds like a fantasy to wind us up because conspiracy to defraud is too serious to admit on a public forum.
Quote.
The offence of conspiracy to defraud requires that two or more individuals dishonestly conspire to commit a fraud against a victim. The offence is extremely wide. It is sufficient for the fraudsters to know that the result of their actions will necessarily result in the defrauding of the victims. The fraudsters do not have to intend to defraud the victim as the primary purpose of the conduct. The offence does not require deception or an intent to cause financial loss.
