I have to agree. Really reminds me of IBM Watson's tech for revenue share arrangement. If any of it works well, why not build the business?

There is an exception under the foreign corrupt practices act (FCPA) that if you do as parent poster described (pay and report as such) then it is legal. Otherwise you are correct, it is highly illegal.

She was convicted at a military trial. Obama commuted her sentence.

You would prefer that prosecutors be able to indict people without any checks? Grand jury proceedings are secret to protect the innocent.

She was granted immunity for testimony. Had she testified, instead of willfully ignoring the court, she would not have been held in contempt.

This was a grand jury proceeding. While this was about a matter that happened while she was in the military, anyone that is granted immunity but refuses to testify could be held in contempt by the court.

The top of this order:

By Order dated May 6, 2019 [Doc. 2], the Court granted Chelsea Manning full use and derivative use immunity, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 6002, and ordered Ms. Manning to testify and provide other information in the above-captioned grand jury proceeding ("Grand Jury").

All she had to do was testify truthfully about the matters she was being asked about. Fifth amendment is irrelevant in this context.

I really recommend "The No Asshole Rule" by Robert Sutton. It's not just that life is too short. Working with assholes will literally make your life shorter. Kudos for calling somebody out in an attempt to stop the madness.

Something tells me gatech and google have different links to the internet....
