African businessman kicks the bucket after being raped by his own harem.
Doesn't sound like such a bad way to go.

My friends from my former employer are in an uproar. This is what makes employees bitter and disillusioned, when they can't count on yearly pay increases and then they find out that their company's doing shit like this (which every other company does too, but that's not the point).
Probably most annoying is the hypocrisy of almost every MNC requiring employees to waste time on some sort of required training or e-learning on ethics or business conduct standards. Pfft.
Quote:Hewlett-Packard to pay $108m to settle scandal over bribery of public officials
Computing multinational Hewlett-Packard (HP) is to pay US regulators $108m to settle a corruption scandal involving employees at subsidiaries in three countries, who were charged with bribing government officials to win and retain lucrative public contracts.
The case piles further pressure on the HP boss, Meg Whitman, who is already managing the fallout from her company's disastrous acquisition of the British software group Autonomy, while losing ground commercially to Samsung, Apple and Chinese rival Lenovo.
Corruption was unearthed in relation to contracts worth $40m to install IT equipment at the national police headquarters in Poland, €35m of work for government prosecutors in Russia, and a deal to supply Mexico's state-owned petroleum company.
The investigation has involved regulators in Poland and Germany, the US Department of Justice (DoJ), its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the FBI. A parallel criminal case has now been announced by the DoJ.
