My theory is Ben somehow gets Kate out of her legal situation and then she's somehow bound to work for him. If you remember the flash forward where Kate goes to the airport to meet Jack, she says she has to get back to "him" -- I've got a hunch she means Ben. Now considering she's going to be super famous as one of the Oceanic 6, I'm sure she couldn't have gotten away as a fugitive. So my hunch is that Ben somehow works it so she gets out of her legal situation and is free, yet is bound to him.
