Hofstra Law Professor James Sample penned the op-ed “Bribery Enters its Golden Age,” published recently on the website Verdict. Verdict publishes legal analysis and commentary from Justia.com Excerpt: In a more rational time, the transfer of millions of meme-coin laundered dollars to political leaders’ personal coffers would be an existential scandal.

When such patently transactional approaches to the rule of law become standard practice, democracy stands to lose more than individual cases. It stands to lose the cause itself.
