They gave him citizenship after he invested $7m and gave $1m to charity there. That's not really corrupt - in most countries you can move there through investing. Corrupt is when you give an envelope of cash to an official. NZ actually ranks joint #1 least corrupt country in the world with Denmark. USA is #18. http://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_percepti...
