tap of panel buss

[Sierrasparky]

I have a customer who's prior electrician made a tap (using a plug on terminal block ) at a 200amp Meter main load center. The terminal block is only rated for 150amps. ( can't believe it is rated that high) there is no main breaker in the panel fed from the tap. I argue that it does not comply with the tap rules. I know the terminal block is a issue. How say you?
