to calibrate our hopes we can just look at VW dieselgate
- satellite2 5y agoThe CEO at the time, Martin Winterkor, and at least six other executives were indicted. Some of the executives were jailed but still not the CEO (I can find mentions of prosecutors discussing the sentence but no mention of him actually starting serving it). But I have muche less hope in the capacity of the US to seriously incriminate its poster child.

According to Wikipedia, he was also charged in Germany but looks like he will walk free from most charges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Winterkorn#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Winterkorn#United_State...
