- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> if the exec were a corporation, it would have been legal No. It would not. "Kail approved contracts to purchase IT products and services from smaller outside vendor companies and authorized their payment." This is a commonly outsourced function. If I hire a company to manage my IT procurement and learn they're getting undisclosed kickbacks, they'd be breaking the same laws Kail did.
