Re: Fine bribe

I once ran a scientific program in West Africa - we budgeted $100 in cash bribes to get gear cleared out of airport and loaded onto a truck.

The same project went to central America and cost us $3000 in customs/carnet/processing/legal fees to ship it through Florida

But if there had been any American citizens on the project it would have been extremely illegal for them to pay $20 to an African customs official.
