Read harder. You try to bribe a cop, you get arrested and you go to jail. If you have a buttload of money you can avoid jail. If not, you serve time. Then you are branded a criminal, forever.

Unlike Walmart which gets to stay a corporation in good standing. And it's executives who suffer no personal harm.



Read harder? Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks because you don’t know or understand the law.

Walmart allegedly bribed foreign officials they didn’t try to bribe the “cops” for bringing the bribery charges. Although you can’t distinguish the legal difference, it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

Executives do go to jail quite regularly for bribery and companies can and are judicially dissolved also.

For example I was in Las Vegas during the Shot Show when the FBI rolled right into the convention center and arrested executives/VPs of Smith and Wesson for bribing an undercover FBI agent, posing as a African delegate, for a large government contract.

Or how about the VW executives arrested (and convicted) for the emissions scandal?

Or the drug company Executives and CEO recently charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and defraud the US?
