Just a note to say your second link gives me a "Oops! That page can’t be found." page.
If you take a look at the second link URL, it is just doubly concatenated -- just delete the second copy, and it works just fine.
Re: VW engineer pleads guilty to diesel emissions scandal
#153I did a small software project as a contractor for VW and it was just a mobile app, not integrated in the car. The hassle we had to go though was immense, it actually went up for decisions 2 levels below CEO. So I don't believe he is the only one or even the main responsible guy. I hope this is not the end with trials for VW executives.

He is exactly the fall guy. Just a target for public persecution. The really responsible execs will get away as usual. Nothing to see the bad guy it's punished time to Move on.
If there are other people responsible, there is no reason for him to not talk...
no reason to not talk .... that we know of.
there are many ways to shut someone up... Do you want to keep your family's life style? your kids at private school? your house? your car? then stay quiet. we will lawyer you up, you get a reduced sentence, will be out for good behavior in two years and we will keep you as a consultant with full pension and company benefits...just one theoretical scenario :)
many ways to influence someone in this materialistic world..
Re: VW engineer pleads guilty to diesel emissions scandal
#155Haha. Politics as usual. They really want us to believe an engineer was the mastermind of this scandal? An engineer can't make these decisions without approval from above. Is pathetic. Execs should go to jail or lose their jobs and pay multi-million dollar fines at the very least. But guess what's gonna happen? They will be discussing this as a bad dream when they meet up on a skiing trip in Swiss alps next winter.
The director of the entire diesel department signs a plea deal, and you complain that no higher ups are indicted? He wasn’t just an engineer, he was also a manager.
Are you telling me that there is just this single person in the entire multi billion dollar company that could make this kind of decision without top execs knowledge that screws up the whole business operation and that there are no checks and balances in place?
If this is the case and top execs really had no clue - they all must go as they clearly have no idea whats going on and how to run a company.
