South Korea’s major pension funds face criticism for weak internal controls, as most lack or fail to enforce rules restricting employees’ stock trading, enabling multi-million-won corruption schemes—including high-profile kickbacks at the Construction Workers’ Mutual Aid Association.

#USA’s incoming #Kleptocracy will be interesting to watch from the outside but I pity the poor bastards who’ll have to live with it.
In a kleptocracy, #corrupt #politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law, through #kickbacks, #bribes, and special favours from lobbyists and corporations, or they simply direct state funds to themselves and their associates.

So Judge Cannon got her idea that Jack Smith was improperly appointed from an opinion by Clarence Thomas, likely the most corrupt member of SCOTUS ( at least for now), and a man with the most to fear from the appointment of a special council to investigate his financial impropriety.
Is that about it?
The IRS doesn't need a special council appointed to audit Clarence Thomas.

Congress could fix this law and make it clear that #kickbacks are as illegal as upfront #bribery. But will they have the ethical principles to do this?
The amount of public #corruption is already at unbelievable levels. We must figure out better ways to root it out and hold public officials accountable.
#Bribes, #kickbacks, #grifts, #emoluments, or #gratuities — whatever you call them — will eventually destroy us.
This is the last time a Cabinet member was impeached. 1876. He was found to be taking kickbacks from a military trading post he'd assigned. And Mayorkas has done, what? Oh, passed policies they don't like. Got it.

Maybe the House #Republicans should investigate #Trump and #Kushner after they get done with #HunterBiden?
“House #Democrats released evidence that the former president took in at least $7.8 million from foreign entities while in office, engaging in the kind of conduct the G.O.P. is grasping to pin on President #Biden.”

Republicans use any dastardly means available to privatize government functions.

Always.

“The rich, as we’ve reported, often deduct millions of dollars from their taxes related to buying and operating their jets and yachts.
@ProPublica interviewed around a dozen former crew members of the Michaela Rose, some of whom spent years aboard the ship, and none said they were aware of the boat ever being chartered.”

I don't understand this. I thought ad agencies paid RTÉ rather than the other way round. Why would RTÉ give "kickbacks" to ad agencies, what's in it for the station? https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/rte-scandal-whistleblower-claims-broadcaster-gave-kickbacks-of-50m-to-ad-agencies/a848924733.html #RTE #AdAgencies #Kickbacks
