But it's not usually the average American in a position to receive bribes like that. 700K for an executive might not be a good deal for most.

Depends on the probability of being caught, which is usually extremely low.

True, but at those levels the marginal utility of money is much lower than 30 months of your life. Clearly some people take the chance, I wouldn't.
