Why is the federal government more inclined to corruption than a corporation?

On the subject of corruption I can't recommend reading this highly enough: https://www.amazon.com/Conman-Master-Swindler%C2%92s-Library...

I didn't mean to imply corruption strictly by the federal government. I meant more broadly that whenever there is a huge pool of money, many actors (individuals, corporations, government agencies) will do whatever possible to get a piece of that.

A con man selling a book spilling the secrets of his cons? Sounds like a con - I'm kidding (mostly). Reminds me of how self-help superstars peddle their wares.

The book is a wild, wild ride. He regularly sold "investments" that would ostensibly benefit the Nazis, and never did a mark make moral objections to the investment. Another striking aspect is the value that con men put on their props: there were cottage industries at the time to produce formal-looking documents and fake telecommunications equipment. The Sting was surprisingly accurate, it turns out; there really were many cons of that sort.
