Dentsu Inc said on Tuesday it will resume bidding for projects under Japan's trade ministry months after the advertising giant come under public scrutiny over its involvement in running the ministry's coronavirus aid program.

The resumption comes as it revised its internal business guidelines to adhere to new standards set forward in the ministry's review, the company said.

That didn't take long. Guess the LDP and Dentsu execs couldn't wait to to get back to the free, all-you-can-eat buffet of the public treasury.

I mean, majority of taxes will eventually find a way to Dentsu regardless. The Japanese government is just another business division of Dentsu, with its primary objective being to maximize profits for Dentsu.
