It wouldn't surprise me. This city is corrupt as hell.
I honestly find it incredibly disheartening how rampant and underreported corruption and nepotism are in practically every sector, industry, everything, everywhere, always.
The corrupt are a minority - but they are global, and the impacts of their actions are damaging the entire human race in a very significant fashion, and always have.
Murder, I can forgive.
Corruption, I cannot.
