Gorsuch is such a bad and smug writer. What does "it" refer to in this first sentence? He takes until the end of the graf to kind of explain it, and then only really clarifies in the beginning of the next graf. If you're going to start with that sentence, you better clarify what you mean immediately
there was no way for these people to know what they were doing was "corrupt" within the meaning of the statute, and that's why they all went to lots of effort to hide the payments via elaborate and overtly fraudulent schemes
Fascinating when this court invokes leniency and presumption of innocence and when it condemns people with death sentence appeals on innocence claims purely because the orderly operation of the legal death machine is its own intrinsic good.
