A recent news article told of a business executive from Europe who had no misgivings about corruption. He said
In some countries, bribes are the only way to get business
No one was disadvantaged or hurt by his bribes
He felt obligated to give bribes for the betterment of his employees (to keep them employed)
He knew that anti-corruption laws applied and had severe penalties, but he felt like the only way he could win business was through bribes
He has no bad conscience in doing so because he can't change the way the world works
