If I were Samsung, I would be more worried about if the company head, and in effect the company, will survive the bribery charges. The previous company head was convicted twice but avoided jail time via presidential pardons. This time, the chaebol is connected to former President Park who just got impeached. I doubt the current acting president or the new president to be elected next month will pardon him. The new administration will want to distance themselves from the Park administration.

Bribery is just how businesses are done in Asia. Samsung would not have gotten to where they are now without greasing palms along the way.
