Is bribery legal when the two parties are entirely private entities (not law enforcement, not publicly listed, etc)? Is it still illegal if you own the entity?
Presumably it would often be tax fraud, but an intangible assets maybe not so much?
Aren’t intangible assets and ‘horse trading’ the fundamental underpinnings of politics?
As far as I know, the word 'bribery' is defined by the fact that the person you're paying has some duty to someone else. Otherwise it's just normal paying someone for something.
