Yes, I do. It is a small point, but I believe that bribery has been
committed as soon as the offer is made, it doesn't matter if it is
accepted or not. The dictionary definitions of bribery relate to making
the offer, not completing a transaction, which was my point. So, it
only takes two in the sense that the offer is made to as second person,
but that second person does NOT need to take any action at all for
bribery to have been committed by the first person.
