Im always appalled at how cheaply people sell themselves. Like who the fuck takes a $100 dollar bribe? The fuck you do with a $100 bucks? Buy some eggs? I would be insulted, livid even. I’ve seen only fans models charge that for less than 1 minute videos barely showing nipples. I would literally blow the whistle myself if I was the reporter.
I agree, once I saw some politician took like 5k in bribes or something maybe it was 10k. Either way it was wildly low in my mind.
Maybe he only got caught accepting 5k but there was more or maybe these politicians are getting so many bribes all the time and they just keep trickling in “small” amounts.
If you check OpenSecrets, a lot of US congresspeople take bribes that are under $15k. They take a lot of them from multiple different lobby groups instead of a big bribe from just a handful. I guess it helps to give them more ways to network once they’re out of office too.
The amount of captured and arrested spies in the US that have bribes as low as a lump sum of $10k is astounding for the type of information they provided to a foreign entity.
Economy must be screwed if people are giving away top secret state secrets to China for a measley 10 grand lol.
Oh really? I did not read this specific article because NYT reported on it, yet failed to mention that detail. Made it seem like someone just noticed. Good for them.

it was $100 after that piece of evidence passed through dozens of sticky official fingers.

NYT did say CITY blew the whistle but only this article says the reporter reported the incident to CITY ig
What if the real story is just that Adams is out of money?
