So you can tell me you honestly believe that in a dark room somewhere in Massachusetts, a Verizon employee is actually handing bags of money to a government official??
Not a dark room or actual cash, but favors like campaign contributions, travel, meals, booze, hookers, cushy jobs for nephews now or themselves later, etc. If you don't believe this happens I can dig up a few examples where they were caught.

I believe most go uncaught due to it being in government officials' best interest to maintain status quo and keep the gravy train running. The police take their orders from government. Only the press/media (who are not entirely innocent, altruistic or beyond trading favors either) are interested in catching them.

It's also difficult to prove anything if the trade is unspoken and just consists of mutually beneficial back scratching rather than an actual spelled-out deal.
