And the bribe is so cheap compared to what the company would had to pay

Examples:

Boeing, just needed to donate $1 mil and let the CEO travel with an idiot to help the Qatari royal family dump their white elephant that was actually a money pit

Nvidia, just needed to book a $1 mil dinner at mar a Lago to lift their export ban and start printing billions

All the crypto bros,

And so on

It’s basically a no-brainer move, a 1000x return on investment
