unbribed
Refused the money
Unbribed describes someone who has not been bribed—who remains uncorrupted by offers of money or favors in exchange for influence.
The word appears most often in contexts emphasizing integrity: an unbribed judge, unbribed witnesses.
It carries a slight suggestion that bribery was possible or even expected, making the uncorrupted state noteworthy.
