So, one agent was caught and convicted of theft, on an unrelated matter, and this is evidence of corruption? Wouldn't that, in fact, be evidence of a system that is successfully punishing corruption?

And since the transaction history is traceable, you cannot posit mysterious other transactions that are unaccounted for. Those would be quickly revealed.

I think that's the OP's point? The system (successfully) invested a lot of effort tot punish the corruption.
