Don't care much for it as it opens the COI door, but until you can prove that his decisions are duly influenced, then no issues.

Given Thomas' position I can't compare it to my buddy buying me dinner once in a while. I can offer nothing back in the form of any service that would help him.

But maybe I can call it a sin of omission as it looks like he was required to report it and did not?  For twenty years?

See that is the problem from where I look at it.  If it was all just a friend paying for their vacation then follow the rules and report it and that's that.  By NOT reporting it he draws more inquiries into why.

Exactly.  He has not been following the rules for a long time.
