I’m used to executives being above the law. I had to read the article to be sure the title wasn’t clickbait.
It is very puzzling, isn't it? Why VW execs are put in jail and banking execs that created a global recession get off scot free?
oh that's easy. the VW execs were under the jurisdiction of a country that gives a fuck and knows what the consecuences of unchecked greed are. the bankers were under the jurisdiction of a country that thinks maybe a little bit of fascism wouldn't be so bad, all things considered
Except, as noted above, they were jailed in US too.
Because that act didn't hurt an American company
They are, the post title is false. The people going to jail are middle managers
