Not sure about OC but in this indictment it's $100k presumably paid to multiple people

$100k is a very tidy sum in India. Even $10k isn't pocket money.

This is why those labelling the comments about Indian outsourcing as racist as missing the point. Outsourcing significant business operations to developing countries makes corruption and hostile interference really really cheap - and therefore far more likely.

Uh, I live in Kansas City and $10k isn’t exactly pocket money.
