"Corruption" is a strong word and a legal term that could get one in trouble
(litigation) if it is misused. I don't know where I heard this, but slander
becomes an issue to bear in mind. I can, however, use that term 'second hand'
now, basing the accusation on somebody else's -- someone who explored the
situation better and has a legal term approving a press release.
