2006年沃尔玛副董事长汤姆•库格林(Tom Coughlin)被判贪污罪名成立，当时杜克也身处沃尔玛高管团队。

When Mr Duke became head of Walmart’s international division in 2005, one of his first acts was to close down its lossmaking German business, where Walmart’s cultural clumsiness was exemplified by decisions to stock baseball bats that German shoppers didn’t want.

2005年，杜克成为沃尔玛国际部负责人时，他最先作出的举动之一就是关闭亏损的德国业务。沃尔玛德国分部决定采购德国消费者不想买的棒球棒，沃尔玛在文化方面的迟钝，此事件中可见一斑。

If Mexico reveals a few bad apples that need to be thrown out, or a systemic rot that needs to be cleared up, Mr Duke sounds like the man to do it. But he could be compromised. The New York Times, which made the allegations, said the bribery was happening before he took charge of the international business but continued while he was there, and that a preliminary internal probe was shut down on his watch in 2006.

如果墨西哥行贿事件暴露出沃尔玛内部有几颗坏苹果必须丢掉，或者暴露出公司内部存在系统性问题必须根除，那么杜克似乎能够挑起这副担子。但他本人也可能会受到牵连。向公众抖出这件事的《纽约时报》(New York Times)称，贿赂行为在杜克接手国际业务之前就已存在，但在他任内仍一直持续，而一项初步展开的内部调查却在他任内在2006年终止。
