Rajendra Kakodkar: Why did organizers keep him in dark about the sponsorship of the very same mafia lobby.. vjp: Its easy to trust someone--say the person who extended the invitation.The filthy always machinate at bringing others to their level. In a sense it validates their position, that everyone is willing to get something on the quiet--and may not be that conscientious, alert, scrupulous, exacting, vigilant, etc.
It applies to free tickets in return for something, talking home pencils from the office, using the expression "labor of love" to claim high ground--when it is far from that, to making attempts at cornering. Different degrees of the same thing. Many of us have been there--and hopefully rehabilitated. Its like Gat korya. "dando laglo tor laglo / pod'llo tor pod'llo" (excuse errors in spelling).
