Re: Obvious mistake
No, no, no. Not since the fairytale merchants[1] enacted legislation making that illegal.
What you do now is hire a local PR company, for a shitload of cash, to lobby on your behalf. They repack the cash in suitcases and hire hookers to deliver it for you. This is more expensive as the local firm will cream off 10% themselves.
Quite a few countries now have legislation enforcing the use of local PR firms to act as intermediaries, allegedly to ensure everything is kept above board but actually for precisely the opposite reason.
[1] Once upon a time we made bribery illegal, that stopped it happening and we all lived happily ever after. The End.
