The CFC was part of this by accepting what is tantamount to an $80,000.00 bribe in the form of FIDE tournament sponsorship (not offered at the time to federations that supported Garry), as well, it appeared, to ensure the continued employment of the Canadian FIDE representative as an arbitrator who was very much involved in the endorsement process even though he declared publicly at the prior election involving Karpov that he was conflicted out according to Kevin Spraggett's blog.
Being unable to post to Chesstalk from home for some reason related to either Cogeco or Lunar Pages has certainly encouraged the representatives of the lunatic fringe to take advantage. FIDE offered the CFC a chance to hold some FIDE norm tournaments by offering us some inducements to hold these tournaments. Larry Bevand, the owner of the board where the libelous accusations are being oft repeated was not able to bring one of these tournaments into existence in a timely manner despite initially being awarded one of the tournaments so obviously the characterization of this award as some kind of a bribe is a bit bizarre. My understanding is that these tournaments tend to lose money and the beneficiaries tend to be a few grandmasters that play in them and a few norm seekers who might play in the hopes of obtaining the much coveted titles that norms allow. No one from the CFC personally benefits from these awards so to call them a bribe seems a tad bizarre.
On the other hand, clearly the Kasparov Leong deal which involved payments of $500,000 and giving Leong the establishment and control of a FIDE office in Leong's country which would control all FIDE commissions receives nary a mention by well known businessman and Kasparov apologist Sid Belzberg. You can read the text of that agreement in the second link below. If you read that agreement you will be able to see which campaign clearly was offering inducements to further their aims. Fortunately there was never much danger of the deal being fulfilled particularly when the details were leaked to the media pretty much laying bare the reality of any claim to being a moral reformer. Clearly the text of the agreement is that the Kasparov campaign was willing to adopt the very practices (which most rational people would criticize as corrupt) if it would further their own aims of seizing control of world chess.
