Con, crime and confession

I want to carry out a major project in the near future, as a boring gadget after a meal. Dig out all the points that I don't understand, as a self-answering question. (Most explanation are provided by Youdao Dictionary)

Season 1 Episode 1

Sell ​​short

In finance, short selling (also known as shorting or going short) is the practice of selling securities or other financial instruments that are not currently owned, and subsequently repurchasing them ("covering"). In the event of an interim price decline, the Short seller will profit. If the stocks are expected to fall, borrow a certain share of stocks in advance and sell them; after the stocks fall, buy them at a low price and repay the stocks to make a profit from the difference. (In the play, Nate anticipated that Duberduch’s company stock would fall, and made a "dispersal fee" in the form of sell short)

Solicit a bribe

The villain who was con in the first episode was eventually caught in the name of solicit a bribe.

Season 1 Episode 2

Appropriation Bill: Appropriation Bill

a legislative act proposing to authorize the expenditure of public funds for a specified purpose

Authorizing the legislative act of authorizing the use of public funds for specific purposes (this is what the two major political villains in the play discuss when they appear on the scene. Sophie used this topic as an entry point in the past when they came up with congressman to allow congressman to allocate money to her company. Then the contractor/contractor who worked with the congressman/congressman asked her, are you proaching? From this, I learned another word, proach)

After updating to this, I found that I was quite boring to organize, anyway, can I make it more interesting after watching~
