HOW MANY OFFICIALS can one bribe in a single case? Wang Shunxi, an entrepreneur from Xinxiang in Central China's Henan province, bribed at least eight, ranging from a judge in a provincial court to staff at the Supreme People's Court. Gmw.cn comments:

Wang's behavior has been jokingly described as "spider web style" bribery because no matter which court the case was transferred to, his bribery followed.

However, his bribery is no joke. His case started in 2009 and was transferred from one court to another, and in each of the courts he successfully bribed the court staff, even some of the judges.
