Visibility is the difference.

It happened before, and perhaps even worse (more competent people were corrupt).

Now, people are just making it public.

The existence of any corruption really has nothing to do with the amount. The amount matters.

    Not all corruption is visible or known.

    If suddenly corruption is done in the open, you see it more, and think it may be because the total amount is greater, but it is only more visible.

    We don't know how much historical corruption was invisible, thus it is hard to accurately say there is more.
