If VW’s stock tumbles completely off the rails, and it end up going firesale, we should all crowdfund to buy it, then revive it as a DIY, fix-it-yourself-er like the original bug. With modern safety / efficiency and everything, but just the raspberry pi / arduino of cars…

Dafuq? These aren’t capital cases, the accused are, yes, incredibly privileged.
In fact, if the death penalty were abolished, fraud cases worth 10M$ or more should be prosecuted as capital cases without being “unfair” (one wrongful death is typically reified to low 8-figures in damage at most, and if corporations are people, money is life, right?) and the stakes for sentencing in all capital cases could be set at 12 years to life.
Of course, with the diluted culpability of the corporate world, it would be necessary to make the board officers serve the sentences.
No, that’s bc having a certain quantity (usually in mass, sometimes in value) has been defined by the law as automatic “intent to distribute.”
On similar reasoning, we could probably legally define membership of the board of any corporation above a set value as “intent to defraud”.
The consequences are likely to be much more just than the drug war.

Well, it’s a start.
Won’t really be justice till Winterkorn is in jail, but that’ll never happen in Germany.
One looks happy and the other horse looks mean?
tired and mad, imo.
I’m seeing nauseated and confused.
