Too bad for all the people that helped him escape who are being jailed now.
- azinman2 5y agoYa exactly. What is his response to them being in jail instead of him? What a horrible thing to do to someone.
- microtherion 5y agoMaybe he's working behind the scenes to free them, but in the interview, he did not seem overly concerned about their fate.
- Google234 5y agoNot much he can do.
- ad404b8a372f2b9 5y agoI really don't understand that part to be honest, from the point of view of the two Americans. Given their part in the escape you'd think they'd be aware of Japan's terrifying justice system and of the situation with the extradition treaties. Why would you help someone escape all that if you have to go back to a country with an extradition treaty with Japan.
- bluedevil2k 5y agoMoney - maybe he promised them millions for their help.
- chihuahua 5y agoI think they were paid about $1.3 million. To me, the amount is surprisingly low given how much money Ghosn has, and the risk and effort involved. Also I find it strange that the names of these 2 guys were known to everyone in the world immediately after Ghosn escaped.
- Google234 5y agoI don’t think they thought they were at risk and weren’t planning on returning to Japan. I would take 1.3 million in return for never visiting a foreign country again.
- noaccnt 5y agoWhy too bad? They obviously broke the law and got caught. Imagine a pair of spetznaz break Derek Chauvin out of the US and bring him to another country. They get caught. Too bad these foreign special forces got caught?
- Google234 5y agoThe difference between what happened to Ghosn and them was what I was contrasting.
- noaccnt 5y agoSo you also believe that its too bad that Ghosn escaped trial and punishment? And that it's particularly nasty that the guys who engineered his escape ended up worse than the root criminal? If so, we agree. But that there are no consequences of breaking another country's sovereignty the way Ghosn and those American goons believe they're entitled to, is ridiculous. Actually, it's American exceptionalism.
- Tams80 5y agoShould have sorted out moving to a country that wouldn't extradite them in their deal with Ghosn then. Ghosn would have been desperate enough to provide it.
- Google234 5y agoComing back to the US was dumb, the Taylor’s apparently had a home in Lebanon.
- throwaway2037 5y agoI Googled pretty hard for a source on this, and I could not find anything. Can you share a source?
- csomar 5y agoWith $1.3 million, they can settle in lots of third-world countries until this whole saga clears. It was a miscalculation on their part.
