Your example isn't corruption. That's just crime. But it does do massive damage.

I’m confused. Corruption isn’t crime? I know white collar crime was controversial 100 years ago, but are we back to arguing whether corruption is crime or not?

  • Corruption is crime but not all crime is corruption. Stealing copper isn't corruption.

    • Not all corruption is crime either as any ex politician earning mid 6 figures for a speech could tell you.

  • > Corruption isn’t crime?

    Societies have very different opinions which kinds of corruption are perfectly fine, and which kinds are criminal.
