If you want that merger to go through, then you have to pay me 15 million dollars!
--But that would be a bribe and illegal. (otherwise peanuts to us)
OK, then I am suing you for 100 million dollars!
---Oh No! (te he) would you settle for 15 million dollars?
Well, alright. But this is the greatest deal in history.
-Here is you 15million. Oh the merger is going through? what a coincidence.

15 million dollar bribe, completely legal, and a giant ego stroke for tiny hands.
