Bribery and gratuities law

Payments tied to official acts: 18 USC §201(b) addresses corrupt exchanges for official action, while §201(c) separately addresses prohibited things of value for or because of official acts. Its public-official definition includes a person acting for or on behalf of the United States in an official function. An unpaid label is not, by itself, a complete answer under this statute. The investment chronology is recorded; a corrupt exchange or act-linked gratuity requires its own evidence. Statute .1
