Since the word "bribe" implies something not aboveboard, I don't think you will want to call the law in on it. It would be like the drug dealer who calls 911 when he is mugged and his stash is boosted.
"Compensation" is the term that the corporate crooks use for their "bribes" and if you violate the terms of that agreement to compensate you could be and probably would be sued.

Actually, the answer to this is "it depends".
If you bribe someone to commit a crime, or cover up evidence of a crime, then the contract is not legally enforceable.
But, if you agree to confidentiality as part of a civil case (this happens A LOT in litigation involving corporate interests), then any party's failure to uphold that agreement is grounds for a lawsuit.
I hope this helps.

Nope, that would be a case of unclean hands and at the very least would be rejected. If this were about a legal matter, you are admitting guilt. +5

Is it really our fault for not reading licensing agreements? The damn things are 8 pages long and for almost everything we buy.

You're reading If you bribe someone not to say something, then they say it, can you sue them for some sort of breach of contract or something? (this is hypothetical, I'm not looking to sue anyone)
