I have a story for u on this if your interested. I was termed from an LPL hybrid OSJ/RIA who came under SEC audit and was found deficient in its disclosures. Instead of taking responsibility, the CEO/CCO threatened to fire me for cause if I didn't participate in rebating my clients. Contact me if u want to know more.
