It is commonly used to describe someone who is involved in malfeasance or wrongdoing, taking advantage of their position or authority for financial benefit.

    Often used in the context of public officials or employees, being "on the take" implies that the person is willing to break legal and ethical boundaries to secure personal incentives.
