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
