Bribery, Lobbying, Fraud and Goldman Sachs

Fraud comes in many guises, such as bribery and lobbying.  In a Washington Post article by Tom Hamburger and Brady Dennis, we read the following:

The list of those facing federal bribery inquiries stretches well beyond 100 and includes prominent names such as Pfizer, 3M, Goldman Sachs and Alcoa. Even icons of corporate responsibility such as General Electric and IBM have paid hefty sums to settle allegations, part of a broader effort that has netted the government billions in fines in recent years and landed some executives in prison.  (Tom Hamburger and  Brady Dennis - Washington Post)

Lobbying is a Goldman Sachs forté. Three letters in USA Today mull over the differences between bribery and lobbying here.
