And sometimes they make corrupt decisions. For instance, the example given in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2589559 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2589559 seems like an obvious example of corruption.

If you buy stolen property, you're pretty much screwed. If you get sweet deals from corrupt officials, you should get screwed too.
