Bribery may be helpful to get things done in Nigeria, but it's illegal for any company in the US under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. If somebody could prove that Microsoft had gotten a contract through bribery- not an easy thing to prove, of course- the company could be in even more legal trouble.

Posted Nov 1, 2007 20:15 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] Microsoft's advantage there is that there's always lots of money changing hands already, and "discounts" and "marketing support", don't count as bribes; and threats to reduce either of them don't count as extortion.
