"i knew a guy who used to be CEO of a medium sized manufacturing company . this guy used to take government dept. heads and other company officials to brothels after a lunch downtown for the purpose of securing millions of dollars worth of contracts. apparently this practice still continues."
So, "this practice still continues" ? Can you tell us if it is a state or federal government ? and, which government departments ?
The period which you said you knew happened, what years ? in which state ?
