It probably isn't so much that Lotte gets benefits directly to their 'operating license' but that with donations these people in positions of power within the government can recommend, give discounts, etc. to the company at later times. It's the 'practical' lobbying that happens all the time in America. Spend a few million to sway the opinions and votes of those in power, and later get back hundreds of millions or even billions from that investment. One thing to note, is that there was a big corruption scandal last/this year where apparently the government was threatening conglomerates with implementing negative policies if they didn't pay up. But it has been a long time since I followed this so please correct me if I'm wrong. | ||

From reading this OP - and only reading this OP - that seems to be the case. If the allegation is true then KeSPA was just a brown envelope. A convenient way to funnel money from a corporate donor to a politician in return for favours. It is going to be a story worth following to see if that's all that's going on. Other than that, I'd like to join the voices using this event to push a faith-based political ideology. This ideology is great because it provides me with a template with which I can approach any social, political or economic event, no matter how complex, with a fill-in-the-blanks approach that makes me feel far more informed than I actually am. Not only that, as I gaze out over the heads of the sleeping sheeple, I know I won't be alone, there will always be another alpha sporting the scars of political lobotomy to wink at, before we both gaze up tearfully in to a firmament of billions knowing that the people-who-matter approve. | ||

What sucks is that it took so long for police to find it out. This hurts the business' image. | ||

I follow the scene and I agree about that, but still, having a discussion about someone being gulity before proven is very wrong, no matter how many times they we’re convicted. With your point of view the whole system is wrong, and if you question the system, then, I also question their conviction and say they we’re wrongfully acused and sentenced. It makes no sense, I would rather wait for the conclusion of the trial and then comment on it. | ||

People love to throw stones at others, especially if it makes it look like they are taking the moral high ground. Also, FREE LIFE! | ||

How do you know it's the most crooked ? Maybe it's most intensively investigated and publicized because it's the most regulated esports system on Earth ? | ||

I am not saying it is, but just because something is heavily regulated and controlled does not mean it isn't susceptible to corruption. | ||
