Isn't a donation (bribe) such as this itself fraud on a much more significant level? Especially for tax-funded or subsidized institutions?
Edit to clarify: I want to know the truth, so the burden of proof is always on me. If someone doesn't have the time or energy to make a full argument, I still appreciate their input. I will try to learn from it if I can. I don't want to silence people who can't write a book on a given topic.
