corruptly influence an independent volunteer boot-strap operation like a

I mean, what the hell are you even talking about?
No one needs to mention names or specific acts, but I'm having a hard time
conceiving what chapter corruption would even look like. Picking certain
popular members to go to events? Milos seems to have something more
sinister in mind; an infiltration by wicked corporations.
Fortunately, it is not about wicked corporations, at least it is not
in the narrow sense. We haven't come into that position. But, I can
expect that it could be a problem in the future if we won't handle
present issues properly. It is about more simple kinds of problems,
which you think that they are less likely.
