I guess it's OK to pay someone for influence if the recipient is not a government official? Makes sense to me.

Yeah, it's called a free market economy.

The crimes were committed during the 90's which means that all felony cases are subject to dismissal due to the era. It was a time of Hope and doing whatever it took in order to obtain the best possible outcome. Lie, cheat, steal, swindle, bribe, and pillage anything that had a wallet in order to shift wealth.
Then of course there were these Olympic guys too............

From what I can understand, the IOC regularly sells the Olympics to the highest bidder, and this has been going on for decades.
So, why did a bribery scandal break out in Utah? Probably because Utah is more honest than most of the Olympic venues. The other cities took bribery for granted.
