I think both of your responses can be cleared up by noting that @nl was responding to, and quoted: > the employee was put in the unfortunate immediate situation of either not getting their lawfully permitted license, or paying the bribe In this context, "options" mean "options to fulfill the CCW licensing goal". Reporting it to the DA, state police, the FBI, or anyone else wouldn't further the CCW licensing goal (though it might fulfill others, and I'm certainly not arguing against it!). Similarly, saying he had other options (for "getting their lawfully permitted license") because he was the CSO of the biggest company in the world may well have other meanings I didn't catch, but reporting bribe solicitations is not one, unless the dialogue had already veered from it's previous aim.

> In this context, "options" mean "options to fulfill the CCW licensing goal". I think that is artificially closing the options. Firstly, and most obviously - he could report the illegal activity by the sheriff and wait. Secondly, he could sue, and ask the court order the licenses be granted immediately if there was a time-critical need. There's probably other options available for relief too, and I'm pretty sure the Apple legal department could think of them!

  > I think that is artificially closing the options. Ah. I took the quote to be the prompt for your reply, as mentioned above. > Secondly, he could sue, and ask the court order the licenses be granted immediately if there was a time-critical need. There's probably other options available for relief too, and I'm pretty sure the Apple legal department could think of them! In spite of Moyer being CSO for Apple, I hadn't realized that Apple Corporation was paying the bribe! You are right that with the company directly involved, there are more options, and it was my misreading/skimming of the article which led me to the wrong conclusions, there.
