I think the reason we see these guys getting caught for $100 tabs is because they get sloppy. There were probably millions in kickbacks which they were able to hide properly because they took the effort to do it right. But a $100 kickback by comparison gets overlooked as an insignificant amount

There are no special people with moderator points in HN, it is pointless to beg.
