Imagine the agony that real tycoons have to go through!  I thought about your 
suggestion, but I believe it would be cool to have an option to *try* to bribe 
the local investigator, after which he can do one of five things:
1. Accept the bribe and forego repercussions;
2. Accept the bribe and tell Tycoon to go screw him/herself;
3. Accept the bribe and tell the Map newspaper about Tycoon's bribing 
behaviour;
4. Reject the bribe and pretend nothing happened but the other bribe;
5. Reject the bribe and tell the Map newspaper about Tycoon's bribing 
behaviour;

In this case, #1 is the desired behaviour from the point of view of Tycoon. 
Also, #3 and #5 would have map-wide influence when the story gets published. 
Awesomely cool would it be if the newspaper would try to blackmail Tycoon for 
not publishing the story and eventually Tycoon could actually go bankrupt 
because of his/her arrogance.
