Given all of the parties' (hacked) accounting books, how do you prove that "Foobar service/fee" is actually "illegal kickback"?

- gruez 3y ago1. If we're to take the plaintiffs at face value (ie. the email in question is really the "smoking gun", didn't bother hiding it, and just handed it over in discovery), then surely the defendants are too incompetent to hide the kickbacks? 2. That attitude is dangerously close to "unfalsifiable claim" territory. There's no evidence for your conspiracy? Well duh, it's all-powerful conspirators that we're dealing with. Of course there's going to be no evidence because they hid it all!
- pphysch 3y agoI'm just saying it's very easy to hide this sort of thing. A brief chat at the country club, totally off the record, is all they need to finalize a backroom deal. The prosecution even argued that the defendents were using Mafia-like language, according to TFA.
