That sounds like the definition of a bribe, which is a crime. I would advise you to not make this information public or at least public under an account that can be traced back to you.

I'm aware of this, that's why I mentioned it. I didn't accept the bribe and am happy for this to be published under my real name.
Why should he care? He didn't say he accepted the bribe, merely that it was offered.
My company requires we need to report that stuff. Also need to take a training every year on what you can accept and what you can't.
Perhaps it was reported. He didn't specify either way, possibly for good reason.

It is. It happens all the time. I get similar offers regularly in my growing startup. It's usually couched better than that, but it's not rare.
