Money doesn't corrupt people; it's more like a truth serum for the morally flexible. It's not that money changes people; it just gives them a megaphone to broadcast their inner used car salesman.
Suddenly, those "creative accounting" skills you never knew you had emerge faster than a politician's promises during election season. It's like money has a magical power to turn "I would never" into "Well, just this once" quicker than you can say "offshore account."
No one is perfect, and money reflects the not perfect side very well in many!
