<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2825950, member: 66&quot;]The problem I see with the idea of bribery in the TPG is who are you going to bribe and how many of them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Bribing the package openers/data entry people isn&#039;t really going to help you, Likewise for the encapsulaters or shipping people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to bribe the owners/operators probably isn&#039;t going to get you anywhere because they are already probably getting high six or low seven figure salaries and your bribe is basically asking them to put that at risk.&nbsp; That would need a really good bribe, probably in the high seven to mid eight figure range.&nbsp; That kind of bribe money is going to be hard to recoup from getting better grades.&nbsp; Also how would the owner/operators interfere in the grading without making it obvious?</p><p><br /></p><p>Bribing a grader might work, still going to have to be a good size bribe.&nbsp; But the problem is it does no good if they don&#039;t see your coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So we have to bribe a second person and that&#039;s the guy who directs the submissions to the individual graders.&nbsp; Now he is going to have to know what you are sending in so he can watch for it, and he is going to have to know which grader you have bribed so he can direct your submission to him.&nbsp; And he is either going to have to have some way of telling the grader this is a &quot;special&quot; submission, or the grader is going to have to know specifically what is coming in so he can recognize it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there is one more person you are going to have to bribe, and that&#039;s the finalizer.&nbsp; This is going to have to be another good sized bribe.&nbsp; He&#039;s not going to risk a six figure salary for a four or five figure bribe.&nbsp; And of course the submission router is going to have to make sure those &quot;special&quot; submissions get routed to the right finalizer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just don&#039;t see it happening.&nbsp; Too shaky, too many people knowing each other, bribes would have to be too high and chances of recovering the bribes from inflated grades too unlikely.&nbsp; And if you didn&#039;t have all three of those people under you control, say just one or two the scheme would fall apart too fast to make it worthwhile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
