So basically the corporate equivalent of slipping a traffic cop a $100, then him conveniently deciding that you're free to go.
More like saying to the judge "What's the max you can charge me? Alright, here's the money, let's skip the court bullshit." in this case.
a fine is a price.
Just pointing out that it's extremely different from trying to bribe a cop.
