You mean, a BIGGER bribe. Someone finally realized how much WoW is worth in China and decided to squeeze it for more money and/or favors. I bet that some "mysterious benefactors" (=gold sellers) will quietly assist with any necessary payments/complications so Blizzard will not have to open its wallet too far. This "major issue" will disappear from the news within a month and everyone involved will smile smugly and claim, "don't worry, it is all taken care of."
