It's kind of crazy to me that large companies are even able to make large, anonymous, unbudgeted, essentially cash payments (with no paper trail) at all.


There is a paper trail in the large business - it just ends when the cash leaves the door as the payment is done by things like bitcoin. Though note the bitcoin isn't as anonymous as the the other side thinks and the FBI has managed to trace bitcoin at times, and they can mark some coins as tainted and so the evil actors have bitcoin that cannot be used, but this is still much more difficult that the large company which has careful records.


Deontology sounds great until reality hits. Then you do whatever is best.

Your company's policies are subordinate to its survival.
