Yeah but

"Kail set up a corporation to receive bribes from Netflix contractors, the DOJ said."

Super blatant. I don't get how he expected to get away with it? You'd think there's a fair chance his employment contract at Netflix would prohibit having an outside interest like this. Plus you know, maybe learn how brown paper bags work. Or find a relative who has a consulting business to bill. Maybe read what cryptocurrency is. Seems like there are a lot of things you could do that aren't making a separate company which has bank accounts and files returns. Oh yeah and don't buy a house with it, a house can be confiscated.

Anyway he should have read the newspapers more. Clearly the thing to do is like your CTO or how politicians do it, just get them to pay you with a "job" after you leave. Perhaps he just hadn't reached scale yet like you can with political roles. Those £38B we spent on track & trace here in the UK will surely come back to the right pockets somehow.

Yeah reading the case this is nothing like anything I've experienced. But the title alone made me chuckle.
