I think it's orthogonal to scale.
Most of the horribly unethical things I've witnessed happened in hyper-local markets.
Ugly corruption is rampant in small or medium businesses that dominate the economic output of isolated and localized geographic regions.
As a distinct but sometimes overlapping phenomenon, "warm fuzzies corruption" is also incredibly common in hyper-localized markets. "Family owned and operated for three generations" is literally a re-framing of "nepotism in the C-suite and boardroom" as a good thing!!! Find me a multi-national that brags about bloodline continuity, please.
