They didn't bribe him. He asked them for the bribe.
We dont know what happened in the past (one prior incident is mentioned) so without knowing the details it's hard to even begin to make a judgement. :)
- gte910h 17y agoThey did bribe him. There are 2 components for a bribe: One party bringing it up, and one party paying another. If the person with the power brings it up, it's called "Asking for a bribe". If the other party brings it up, it's called "offering a bribe". In either case, the actual paying the money is called bribery (and the act "accepting a bribe"). The offering is only attempted bribery. The companies definitely bribed him, and possibly face criminal culpability if anyone gives a crap to prosecute them.
- ErrantX 17y agoWell I was referring to the incident we have been told about: where the company did not resort to bribery. Also I'd point out that really if the way it goes down is "give me a laptop if you want a [good] review" and they pay up that is actually racketeering :)
- gte910h 17y agoI actually believe racketeering has an element of something else illegal, ie, gambling or violence.
