People used to buy "Indulgences" from the church to cover their sins and rich folk could even pay others to serve their prison sentences (allegedly this practise still goes on in some places such as China). So paying a lot of money to avoid having to prove that you didn't pay a lot of money to someone that you shouldn't have seems par for the course - at least for those that can afford to buy their way out of trouble.
