Sidebar: As a long-time Raymond Smullyan fan, I was delighted to read the different article about Ghosn and Nissan and undisclosed compensation. Matt raised a Smullyan-esque question: If the act of prosecuting Ghosn meant that the undisclosed compensation would no longer be paid, does that mean that prosecuting the crime prevents the crime from occurring? I suppose the rational answer is that the crime is in the conspiracy to attempt to do the thing, not the successful carrying out of the thing, but still, it is amusing to imagine a crime that is only a crime if it isn't revealed to be a crime.
