| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:48 | comment | added | Putvi | It is quoted in the box that pretty much starts with 5. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:31 | comment | added | nick012000 | Okay, but could you edit your post to make it clearer, then? Maybe quote the relevant sections of the law you linked to? | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:23 | comment | added | Putvi | Bribery through intangibles was not a crime before those cases. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:21 | comment | added | Putvi | Saying the court cases I mentioned establish the "theft of honest services doctrine" is saying that is what term case law puts on a bribe of that sort. So it is therefore referencing that and is the case that literally made that illegal. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:18 | comment | added | nick012000 | What part are you referring to, specifically? I can see some stuff that seems to be saying that it’s fraud to deprive someone of intangibles in exchange for a bribe, but I can’t see anything that says that offering somebody of intangibles is itself a bribe, which is what this question is about. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:12 | comment | added | Putvi | Please read the part's about theft of honest services. That would be the legal term for it. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 21:09 | comment | added | nick012000 | Maybe you should quote relevant portions of the rulings in question, then? It looks like you were going on a bit of a tangent to me by quoting cases about being bribed into committing fraud? | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | Putvi | @nick012000, every case that laid the foundation for intangibles being considered a bribe, in federal court anyway, is listed in there. | |
| Nov 16, 2019 at 5:41 | comment | added | nick012000 | Does this answer the question? It sounds like you’re saying that it’s fraud to withhold intangibles in exchange for a bribe, but nothing about whether or not a bribe can be composed of intangibles? | |
