What's this?

I hope you would also. However, funding bribes under the guise of

a charitable contribution, and then claiming the tax deduction to me, means they "meant to steal money." The utilizing the mail and/or wire transfers is mail/wire fraud. It might even be construed as money laundering, with a predicate sua (specified unlawful activity) of mail or wire fraud. All of which, are crimes that people of lesser means could commit, because they don't have the money.
About the coaches or others who accepted bribes, I'll agree with you on that. However, in order to have a bribe, you have to have a "briber" and a "bribee." Why should the briber be held less accountable than the bribee? Double standards have lead us to where we are today.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Have a great weekend.
