A corruption action under New York law allows a corporation to recover damages when a fiduciary, officer, or employee misappropriates corporate assets or diverts business opportunities through self-dealing or breach of duty. Corruption actions differ from derivative suits in that they seek direct recovery for the corporation itself rather than on behalf of shareholders.
