Discretion is part of a bribe's value proposition. The existence of this post is why public speaking fees are a horrible vehicle for corruption. You have people complaining and asking for recusal. It's negative publicity and a hindrance to corrupt acts.
At Yellen's level, access to information is what has the most value. That's how I would bribe someone like that. No paper trail

It's hard to look at the past decade or two and think there was a hinderance to corrupt acts. Sure, people complain but rich people got their tax breaks, Wall St. gets friendly policy, and mega corps get bailed out. The system is clearly working for those involved.
