When a decision maker is supposed to act impartial but makes their decisions based on their "friendship" with a stakeholder who benefits from those decisions.

Decision maker example: regulatory agency
Stakeholder example: business under regulation
FAA administrator, old friend of Boeing: Hm, should we ground these crashing 737 maxs? Maybe. 🕵️
Boeing: Hey, we will take care of the issue, promise. It can affect our profits if you ground them. Please please please don't ground them. Don't research too hard into the chances of crashes, pleasies!🥺
FAA administrator: hmm, you make a good point, and we were friends before. 🥲 Hmm, this is suddenly not a real issue anymore, no siree. This will go very well. 😌 Man diet corruption tastes good.
