    The company overestimating is not the same as skimming off the top, especially for the lady being bribed.

    ... where do you think that 'overestimated' money went?
    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    When the amount is paid and the excess money is kept, it is.

    Skimming off the top suggests someone was literally pocketing the money and not reporting it. Him overbidding is not skimming. People overbid on projects all of the time and get hired, it doesn’t suggest fraud.

    Not when it’s a contract.

    Um, yes it is. Any money not used is supposed to be returned.

    So a company bribing their way to a contract then overbidding doesn't scream 'fraud' to you?

    This is a weird hill to die on.

    They are supposed to get three bids anyways. There has to be a very compelling reason to take the highest bid.
