They 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.
