shiva , near piazza 24 maggio . <| sep |> Yes , but usually not family that has direct financial interests in the conversation . <| sep |> You can get away with calling it corruption but it ' s not really corruption unless there ' s payforplay going on . and there ' s no evidence of that , though I would not be surprised if that wasn ' t the case . What this is , is an ethics violation . In no other profession , not even usedcar sales do you see such blatant ignorance of ethical standards of behavior , than what I saw in those emails . I ' m not super wellversed in the rules on how parties work , internally . But if they don ' t have rigorous rules against this sort of bullshit , then they SHOULD . They should be as highly regulated as the legal industry , where ethics violations get you disbarred , slapped down , and blacklisted for life .
