bribable
Open to payoffs
Bribable describes someone who can be induced to act improperly in exchange for money or favors.
A bribable official accepts payments to look the other way; a bribable witness changes testimony for cash.
The word implies corruptibility—not that someone has been bribed, but that they could be: Every man has his price, but some are more obviously bribable than others.
