Every time this story comes up, the comments are filled with people proclaiming that kickbacks like this are totally normal and very common.
I can't tell how much of it is random people projecting their cynicism onto the business world, or if it's people who have been part of bribery/kickback schemes themselves trying to normalize the behavior online.
Either way, cases like this should make it clear that the behavior is not a good idea.
