Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal

The fallout forced CEO Martin Winterkorn to resign, although he denied wrongdoing. U.S. authorities issued an arrest warrant for Winterkorn in 2018, but Germany does not extradite its nationals. His trial in Germany was paused in 2021 due to health issues, but he remains a key figure under investigation.

Sounds like execs are familiar with milking the legal process regardless of nationality or prosecuting nation.

  It’s almost like execs are an international . . . cabal . . . of extremely rich white men who make decisions that only serve them.
  
  But of course that’s just a conspiracy theory.
