That works until you're caught, and then you have to be powerful enough to get out of it, or have someone involved powerful enough to protect you from the consequences. When 'everyone' is in on it, who is going to get you in trouble? Maybe the next guy, maybe you have time to bury all the evidence before then. Obviously a risk people were willing to take to achieve their political goals.
