Another possibly is renewals continue to be paid and the down line agents continue to be under contract because the agency was incorporated. Even if the agent was terminated for cause, the corporation was not guilty of anything and would continue to be paid. There are just too many unknowns to have any idea what really took place.While possible, going strictly by the original post I doubt it. The company doesn't need to send a cease and desist if they terminate the contract, unless the person continues. Also, why report it to the DOI but then terminate "not for cause". Go ahead and terminate for cause or suspend the ability to sell until a DOI investigation is complete.
But again, all just speculation at this point.
