"The plaintiff's attorney asked for a private conference; afterwards, I discovered an envelope containing two thousand dollars on the chair he'd been sitting in. The defendant's attorney also asked for a private conference; he left an envelope containing three thousand dollars. The defendant's attorney will now approach the bench to receive a refund of one thousand dollars, after which I will hear both sides and judge the case according to its merits."

Zionist Conspirator said:
"... that the money was kept if the appeal was rejected, and returned if it was approved. The judges returned the money. So that's not the problem here. " The term "conflict of interest" does not imply that anybody did something wrong. It merely indicates that the interests of some party are conflicted.
The key question in this case is not what happened, but what would have happened if the appeal was not successful. Where does the money end up if the appeal had been UNSUCCESSFUL? Do the judges get to keep the money? Is the money donated to charity? Does the money go to support future Olympic activities?
Passing cash directly to a sporting event judge is bad practice no matter how honest the participants are. Who keeps the cash during the appeals process? Is the money secure? Are receipts issued for the cash? Is a second receipt completed to document the return of the cash?
