"caught colluding" implies they were doing something illegal

Not illegal, just nefarious. Which is why they got real embarrassed when what they were doing was revealed and stopped it.

No, it doesn't.

collusion. noun. col· lu· sion kə-ˈlü-zhən. : secret agreement or cooperation for an illegal or dishonest purpose

Something can be dishonest without being illegal.

Emphasis on the 'or'

The whole sentence does though.

Which law is it being implied was broken?
