Changes in the money supply to try to reign in bubbles, or get the economy going again during or just after a recession, can often be mistakes, but are questionable as "corruption" in most cases (or at least most cases with a reasonably independent central bank). If and when they are corruption it would mostly be the corruption of wanting to get short term advantage for politicians, not a way to make money for bankers. Changes in the money supply have economic and financial effects that people can use to make profits, but profitably adjusting to changing conditions != corruption.
