IMO without a doubt there are some who are better positioned. Just the nature of the grading and authentication businesses is a breeding ground for corruption.

Despite all the published safeguards in place, I still wonder if the grader can sometimes, by whatever means, find out who the submitter is. Devious minds in search of wealth are powerful tools to corrupt.

ABSOLUTELY they can. Anyone that has dealt directly with the Grading CO in person knows this as well.
