Around as much as the US doe to rich politically linked US execs. Practical example: remind me how much was GM fined, and how long did the exec serve for emission cheating ?
- WillPostForFood 9y agoGM hasn't been found to have cheated yet. So far there is a class action lawsuit by a private firm that has tested one truck.

- Aloha 9y agoI'd argue there is a difference between making a faulty product and then failing to fix it, and intentionally making a device to circumvent the law. GM also paid 900 million dollars to the government as a fine and set aside 600 million to pay victims of the car. A report was commissioned which basically says GM failed to understand its own cars enough to understand why the failure was important. Another apparent compounding factor was the 2008 bankruptcy of GM. http://www.beasleyallen.com/webfiles/valukas-report-on-gm-redacted.pdf http://www.beasleyallen.com/webfiles/valukas-report-on-gm-re...
