There is a lot of supposition from the article based on a single source that these payments were bribes. These kinds of articles are really calling wolf when there are none. And potentially downplay instances when actual wolves are spotted. This is a hit piece from a potential competitor trying to do business in the same market.
Going to add further the article has way too much fluff. It’s a play on reader psychology to turn them against Microsoft.
- hammock 5y agoAgreed. Reminds me of the payments of as much as $183K a month from a Ukrainian natgas company to a man with no energy sector experience that just happened to be the son of the US Vice President. There's no evidence it was a bribe, just a hit piece, probably from a competitor like Russia
