#12A lot of people in western countries are unaware of how bad corruption is in the developing world.
It's not uncommon for something like 80% of government officials of all types to be corrupt, compared to under 5-10% in the west.
Go to one of these countries and you'll see it for yourself first hand if you ever deal with the government in any capacity.
You may start to see the same thing in the west with idelologues such as Trump, who care more about loyalty and power than corruption. He has already removed a lot of checks and balances in the system.

the west just formalizes the expedited processing fee vis “due process” or a “deferred prosecution agreement”

Fair on "verified" - it's really "manually reviewed" (duplicate/outlier checks), not independently verified. Should probably fix that word on the site.

Ha, fair dig. For the record, it's optional and has nothing to do with what gets published, but I get why the timing makes it look that way.

> Others confirm the pattern When reports cluster around one office or officer, the algorithm flags a verified pattern automatically It just requires enough others to say the same thing for it to be verified.
Fair catch, clustering does get flagged automatically, but that just means "multiple people reported it," not "confirmed true." Same issue: "verified" oversells it either way.

#20If I were a corrupt official in one of the departments I would simply use a vpn and submit a bunch of data for my specific specialty all across the country and then slightly fewer in my own department to drive demand and set market expectations
