the_logos will become famous soon enough
From dictionary.com

Bribe: Something, such as money or a favor, offered or given to a person in a position of trust to influence that person's views or conduct.

That's what you are offering to do with Adam: Pay him money so that he will change his views or conduct.

The fact that you're not getting anything out of it just makes it an even more blatant bribe since there's no exchange of money for anything but that change of view or conduct.
