Hm, great lumps of money also detaches a person from reputation or accountability.

Does it? I think it detaches them from _some_ of the consequences of devaluing their reputation or accountability, which is not quite the same thing.
Money, or any single metrics, no matter how high, is not enough to bend someone actions in territory they will assess unacceptable otherwise.

How much money would make anyone accept to engage in a genocide by direct bribe? The thing is, some people would not see any amount as a convincing one, while some other will do it proactively for no money at all.
