Unless I'm mistaken, I don't beleive Sotheby's got into trouble for shilling but for conspiring with another auction house(s) to maintain the auction fees high. It and others secretly agreed not to compete against each other by lowering fees. I know of a collector who received money as he had been a Sotheby's or Christies bidder who was overcharged.
