I'm just saying the problem is basically systemic. Powerful people in charge are going to do what they are going to do. Very few will voluntarily place restriction upon themselves even for their own good. The person that sent the money probably did it because the CFO had a history of acting like a child/irrationally/short fuse.

Very few CEOs are going to make people feel comfortable telling them no.

My anecdotes were to illustrate its widespread if I've personally encountered it multiple times. Also just to entertain.
