Is there something I can do about a corrupted FC?

Unfortunately, that is most likely true.

As a Free Company master, hearing about these situations makes me wonder how the company masters in question fool people for so long, and always makes me worry about it souring people on free companies in general. That would be a bad assumption for people to make, but of course no matter how many good FC masters there are, the bad ones can still overshadow the good, because people are more apt to remember the bad over the good.

I agree completely, as a FC leader also. It's just really difficult for GM's to solve these kind of problems. As someone else said, it's more of a grey area rather than a black and white rule which can be easy to solve, especially if there's no evidence. I suggest to the OP like you said to screenshot anything in the future though, just in case.
