Got some poop on this recently...we were in a situation like others over there, with basically everyone doing the same thing...grease the agent's palm, or your freight may sit for a month before being delivered..sad, but true...anyway, the pressure was getting intense, and we decided to bail and, in a nutshell, turn ourselves in with the hope of getting off easier..since the others have not been publicized yet, we really don't know if "easier" is...I won't say where I got the info, that would be unfair to him, but I have known him a long time and I trust him...He is much better connected than I...
So I suppose you could talk about corruption all day, but the fact of the matter is it doesn't amount to much more than paying a premium in a third world country...I'd like to say that stuns me, but I would be lying..
