Carlos Ghosn aka 'Le Cost Killer" is the world-renowned CEO who brought Nissan back from the grave, along with other giants like Renault, Michelin, and Mitsubishi. But these days he is less known for his successes and more known for his financial scandals at Nissan that led to his arrest, and his eventual escape from Japan. Let's take a look at Ghosn's career and see if he truly is the criminal that the Japanese government is making him out to be, or if there really is a conspiracy behind his arrest.

What do you guys think? Should Ghosn have faced the Japanese justice system, even after learning about what they did? Btw don't forget to subscribe to win $1000!!
Albon,
Thank you for this very well done and informative (and most important) honestly "balanced" expose. Personally I have always admired Mr Ghosn (in the same admiration for other heroes say like Lee Iacocca for example) - impressed of his career with Nissan's outrageous success during his tenure, but following his arrest had been somewhat disappointed - up until watching all of this.
The light having been shed on these spurious Japanese execs and BS hijinks within Nissan was something I knew very little of.
I hope one day that Mr Ghosn tears has the opportunity to tear down the curtain entirely for all to see who the real crooks in this matter are.
Thanks again!
Japanese way is very good. Not even the CEO earns big money, everything remains buyable for everyone not just the top guys.
No elite, no wage gap that a hundred years couldn't make up.
Lock him up and throw away the key...gtr or not.
Edit: end of film.....seems Japan has a greed problem now like the West.
no, billionaires are different people, they never need to face any criminal charges.
Because they can buy and be friend with totally corrupted media .
Hell no! If Ghosn stayed, he'd be rotting in a jail now. The Japanese police and judicial system is as corrupt as it gets. Completely shameless and difficult to comprehend how it's considered a 1st world leading Asian country. I know cuz I'm here. You can get thrown in jail without trial, without a lawyer, without rights, for the simple reason that you're a foreigner. They have 99% conviction rate not because the police are good at fighting crimes, but because they keep you in isolation and torment you day after day until you break. The conspiracy is real, just not what most believe it to be or how the media plays it. Good on Ghosn for getting the fk outta here.
@@andrewwright. the greed problem already exists in their corporate structures they even resort to doxxing, stalking, and even bribery when dealing with issues.
Notable companies who were pretty much guilty with this were Square Enix, Nintendo, and Mitsubishi. Square Enix and Nintendo hire PIs to investigate leakers and doujin-soft circles to harass them with C&Ds, threats, and spam calls. Mitsu bribed their way to hide emissions and fatal design flaws for almost 40 years until they got an antitrust lawsuit.
Lots of Japanese companies resort to this, and only a few ones go bust and that's due to them not being able to properly hide their tracks when doing so.
In Ghosn's case, should he face the Japanese judicial system, he's definitely bound to rot in jail. You'll never win a case once you're accused in Japan. That's how brutal their conviction rates are.
This guy was born in Brazil, then went to live in Lebanon, then became CEO of Nissan in Japan, then fled back to Lebanon.
This dude is universal.
wait- what? Brazil? what a random country
You are going to Brazil!
he lived in france
Mr Worldwide
damn he lived in 4 different countrys what a universal man
Japan is like a neighbour who is always smiling, acting nice, and keeping to themselves while also having people tied up in their basement.
I mean there is long history of Japanese conservative nationalism and of the polite culture.
If this how ever would happen in todays China, you better bet on the guy would be lucky to get out of the country.
That’s hilarious
Yep. The day I heard that in Japan you can 'rent' an entire family for a weekend, just to avoid feeling lonely...it confirmed for me that it is strange straange country! 😐
Japan was literally allies with the nazis
@@seung-hoahn7552 it's almost like every country has flaws. Shocking right?
Note that in Japan getting persecuted 99% of the time means that in court the person is found guilty. Even in cases where the judge knows that the persecuted person isn't guilty. This happens. The criminal justice system is one of the worst when it comes to justice.
Maybe they should just call it the criminal system
Most of the world are full of self serving scammers with no sense of honour. Japan is the only country left with any shred of honour.
@@mop2254 How can you say that after seeing how they treat people who haven't committed a serious offense or a crime at all? There is no honor in throwing others under the bus. If you can't face your own crimes how can you claim to have any honor.
yeah I mean the reason why in the ace attorney games you have to prove someone else did it, is because it's a satire of Japan's legal system and how impossible it is to be found innocent
actually for most cases in Japan, people are only brought to court when there is enough evidence to proof their guilt.
Most of the time.
As a Japanese, I think this needs a proper Japanese translation and gets released in Japan too for the Japanese audiences… I didn’t even know all this until today, all I know was Carlos was the bad guy in this case
Same to the Japanese executives, everyone is bad, not just them, all of us here, this is reality, Japan needs to be less strict on certain things and let foreigners do its thing with manners. Corruption smh, I like Japan, but its still messy like the US.
@@gakidomo9561 Absolutely not. Carlos is a bad person who intended to make Nissan a subsidiary of his own small, private company. This is a bad dude with a bizarre, disgusting ego. Nissan was a victim of this psychopath.
I mean, it does sound like he did some shady stuff which he should be held accountable for, but in a reasonable way.
That would also mean that the other board members should be held accountable though.
I guess I am lucky to live in Germany, where the legal system is much better (its sadly not perfect though).
@@bamhi1522 If they're willing to do the very nasty things they were caught doing, they deserve to be made someone else pet since they can't keep themselves in check.
+1, definitely needs a Japanese translation so I can show my friends & neighbors, I too live in Japan
This needs a movie. The story is good and the plot keeps thickening.
yeaaah, I want to see the more villains out there pretending to be heroes...!
Or a Netflix spinoff
This would make for a great movie hahaha !
starring Mr. Bean
his father's story is even crazier.
Considering Japans 99% conviction rate, he probably made a good call.
But unlike average folks, the US wouldn't hesitate to extradite, this scumbag gets a pass cause he's rich AF. That is the US justice system coddling wealthy criminals like always.
@@rhianimal19 He's in Lebanon tho not in US
In Japan, 40% of lawsuits is settled outside of court. As for the remaining 60%, confessions take much of what's left, because the Japanese are brought up to be honest, the paramount in the Japanese culture.
@@gusty4057 The police and law enforcement of japan also use these "confessions" to put innocent suspects inside the cells just to close the case and get promotion. Police often torture and mentally harass the suspects for false confessions that are later used against them as evidence to put them inside bars. You can easily be put behind bars in japan just based on circumstantial evidences. There was one documentary also made regarding this issue and the dark side behind the 99% conviction rate.
@@gusty4057 it sounds like you're confusing civil and criminal.

When you start to learn about Japanese culture nowadays and their behavior towards foreigners, the suspect of misjudging totally makes sense. 108 days arrested by allegations of a crime unproved is clearly a message and a personal punishment.

Did you personally experience any racism?

@@rpaulmalinis285 Just try living in Japan. Due to being an Ethnostate and Isolationism during the Shogun period they are kinda racists till this day.
They are good and kind people. But they don't see you as a good person. Specially in corporate and judicial spaces.
@@rpaulmalinis285 If not racist, they are certainly xenophobic, and have the right to be as it is their land. But don't try pulling defense for them and denying this.

This was a master piece presented by you. Learnt a lot of things, kindly make more videos on such case study. I saw your playlist is filled with car videos. You are way better at pursuing case studies, keep doing that.
Around 1999, Ghosn made a speech at the graduation ceremony of my kids' school in Yokohama. It was a wonderful presentation which showcased his deep humanity, wisdom, and humor.
they're just jealous of his killer samurai eyebrows
Hahaaa!
Lmao
Samuraï jack would like to have a word
😂
😂
Only difference between him and most politicians, is the WORD "wanted"!
The other difference is that he is very good at his job.
Exactly
cuz they are all criminal business majors
@@splint3048 He was running the companies to the ground. Making massive cuts and layoffs to temporarily increase stocks/shares works short term but not long term. That's why most of these western CEO's hop from company to company every few years so they can take as much as they can out of them before they inevitably collapse, and then screw the next company and employees they go to. This style of "leadership" is corrupt and outdated should be recognized as a scam/crime by now. The Japanese are right in handling him as a criminal it seems. Sure, corporations have to make cuts in quality and employees at times but these CEO's do everything they can to benefit themselves while screwing over others (including the economy of entire countries) and that's not the Japanese way. If only western countries were this bold in penalizing corrupt CEO's!
Everyone has to hate you if you are a politician going to jail.
We can’t just let the behavior of the people involved in the plot slide. They’ve managed to escape much of the spotlight. We need to shine a light on how bad these people are.
I've got to give to you guys, i've been watching a lot of your content recently and i'm seriously impressed. You cover super interesting topics that no-one else has really covered.
People are finally realizing That japan is just a normal country like any other country and it isn't a heavenly place people assume it to be.
It is certainly worse than a "normal" western country. Living in Asia for 12 years in south and east Asia I have my experiences. Japan? No thanks...

Once you're on trial in Japan, conviction is nearly guaranteed. His escape is understandable.
That sounds very similar to Dutch CPS cases: where the assumption of guilt prevails in spite of any and all evidence to the country, and are children are separated for life from their parents.
Yes, they have a 99.9 percent conviction rate. It’s all about not being different, especially in Japan. Sad.
If you get a wrong conviction you can't appeal even if a judge admits bias.

Japan homocide rate: 0.3 cases per 100,000 population. The lowest in the world in some years.
US homocide rate for comparison: 5 cases per 100,000. Some European countries dip as low as 0.30 - 0.50, like Norway or Luxembourg, but most stay between 0.5 and 1.2.
Anecdotal evidence in this case is very useful when placed carefully in a burning garbage can. Japan’s police system is harsh, uncaring, and unforgiving, but Japan is one of the safest countries to live in on earth. Of course, bigger bad accidents happen too. But that is not enough to tip the statistics. They’re still impressive.
He saved his skin by escaping because there's no way he could have won those allegations considering the syndicate against him with the Japanese government, this is proof that success turns friends into frenemies!

According to Japanese culture he basically has stolen money from the Japanese people. Also, it seem he failed to grease the proper gears.
y'all forget he's the one lifting Nissan from bankcrupty, seeing Nissan's plumetting state again after Nissan and Japanese government and a certain also foreigner from corrupt Malaysian, I'm trying to guess how Nissan will pull itself back, or worse, how to get foreign investors for this ungrateful backstabbing ass of a company

Life, no parole. I don't even care about the charges he ruined Nissan and made transmissions(and many other parts) designed to fail. People have undoubtedly died because of the dramatic drop in quality. Many many more had to scrap their vehicle or spend thousands unnecessarily

@@nanoa4863 Oh really? They get their information from reliable sources not just Wikipedia like how else can you get the info then? 😂
They weren't framing him. He was guilty of what he was being accused of. However, so were they. That is the issue.
@@EcnalKcin Of course he was in it too. I'm saying it's not a one man job, and the parties involved esp. the Japanese tried to make him the scapegoat. He is innocent in more than half of what they are accusing him of. His crime was growing the company to a successful international and global level which the Japanese were scared and fearful they would lose grip over their influence. And also, how the govt approached and apprehended Mr. Carlos just because he is not a Japanese is not according to the law! I'm glad he escaped. A 100% sure he wouldn't be getting a fair trial in Japan.
He is innocent and guilty at the same time. He embezzled/ mismanaged a lot of money (that Marie Antoinette party at the versailles was so tone deaf and over the top - tells you a great deal about how disconnected he was from reality) but he is right that about being set up by company insiders in Japan with the backing of the corrupt Japanese legal system. There is no way he was going to get a fair trial so I don't blame him for escaping.
With their 99% conviction rate , regardless of guilty or not.
@@MrCatalin090 Yeah, I would have totally escaped as well if I were in his situation. Fair trials simply do not exist in Japan.
Trial in japan ? He is a foreigner and you don't need to think far about japan bias and racist social system.
Have you seen how the Sli Lanka English teacher lost life inside of Nagoya Japan immigration department. They did not send her back right away. Also we don’t why 68 kg beautiful teacher become 32 kg weight after 6 months. Public new interviewed her 2 sister who loaned money to buy airline tickets because Japanese immigration government officers did not send any notice after the older sister died at japan immigration department on February 2021. They found out on March after one months when they arrived in Japan. Anyway, Japan government drop this case right before Tokyo Olympic. They forced 2 sister go back to their country Sli Lanka . The government officers were very mad to them .the two sister used public news with giving a chance to japan immigration department. Well, I believe japan immigration department had over one months before they arrived japan . They don’t nothing for them . This case closed and dismissed by Japan government officers. Can you believe. They got nothing back besides older sister body without any explanation from Japan government
@LightZpeed Yes but he should be punished proportionately and according to the law. The Japanese legal system is racist and corrupt and they would have exaggerated his sentence in order to make a point.
Pretty good video. You should have mentioned that only the foreigners were arrested, Carlos Ghosn and Greg Kelly. Hiroto Saikawa who was proven to have committed the same crimes that the two foreigners are suspected of, was able to walk away scott free by just bowing and saying he was sorry. I currently live in Japan as a foreigner and have done so for 20 years. The Japanese people for the most part are nice people. . . . .to your face. There are many who will stab you in the back just because they feel they are superior and everyone else is beneath them. Luckily I work for an American company, that hires both Japanese and other foreigners. I would never want to work for a Japanese company.
I heard that Japan is still xenophobic at times and it’s hard for non Japanese to adapt. That and they will sometimes harass non Japanese, Japan is still very traditional and do not like change.
And hear I thought it was a very friendly country due to anime portrayal of it. I have also heard from other none natives on CZcams that Japan is not kind to foreigners.
@@thanors2 They are. The area that I live in has a few foreigners, but most of my neighbors are older Japanese. They usually mind their own business and I mind mine. I had a new neighbor move it to the house across the street from me. Roads here are not very wide and houses are close together. I was backing out of my driveway and part of my rear bumper passed over the property line of said neighbor. I had to back out further than usual to avoid another car parked at my house. They came out and said if I came on their property again, they could call the Japanese police. My bumper only, which didnt touch anything but the air around it. After that, they put up all these security gates, fences, security system, etc. Makes for a strange situation to say the least.
"There are many who will stab you in the back just because they feel they are superior and everyone else is beneath them."
So, they're the same as everyone else.
By their very actions, they have not changed since Dec 7, 1941. They were defeated in WW2 and their defeaters pumped in $2 Billion to help them rebuild their nation. After that they went back to war without guns, rather business. The Japanese gov’t to acted as a business partner by providing tax breaks and low credit if they went to other sectors around the world. They protected companies with trade barriers and low exchange rates that crushed imports and supported exports.
fantastic video bro. Really engaging. I never knew the world of business could be this interesting.
22 mins felt like 2.2mins. Great job on this piece man!! Subbed :)
This explains why the quality of Honda/Toyota is so much greater than Nissan. Lol the executives at Nissan were just taking money instead of reinvesting it into their products. It all makes sense now.
Jatco CVT decided to disintegrate
As the video pointed out they were making all these unprofitable cars for the Japanese domestic market, that had to stop. That led to all the factory closures and job losses. You can bet the government of the day didn't like looking bad. All these car-makers have to shift to hybrids and full electrics now so that is the next challenge.
@footballcoreano You're Korean, lol. Japanese cars are just much better built than their Western and especially Korean counterparts. Anyone that is smart with their money would go with a Honda or Toyota. They last so much longer.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k strange thing to say. I’ve owned a Toyota, VW and Hyundai along with other cars. The best quality? Dunno? All 3 lasted me for years without major issues. The VW for sure felt the strongest and had better handling than the other 2.
@@josephj6521 Going off by reports from owners, I've never owned anything that isn't American but I can absolutely feel the quality in the backseat of a Toyota or Honda. It's no luxury car but there's a reason you can see so many 90s camry's and civics on the road today.
Carlos Ghosn's big mistake was flaunting and lavishing company money on himself. As a foreign CEO in Japan that's a very dangerous path. Not only that he was totally unaware about the crazy criminal system they have in Japan towards foreigners. Inexcusable blind spot for a career executive working in Japan.
Exactly. For someone who loves diversity so much and credits it as his strategy, he sure is incredibly ignorant at best and hostile at worst to Japanese culture and people.
The mistake cam from the french government more than Carlos
@@HorsesArePeople2 lets be honest if he was Japanese no one would bat an eye cuz of how homogeneous Japan is, their board were definitely behind the arrest.
@@seyamrahman1002 Yes, that's my point. An outsider came in and made a mockery of their way of life and now they're punishing him.

This was great. I remember hearing about an escape. Great presentation. Maybe you all will tell my story of success one day. Subscribed
Imagine how many enemies he made sacking all those people etc.
I think most critical of his decision was to announce performance based promotion and bonuses and not on seniority. Imagine how many non performing managers and executives would be upset.
He deserved it..... exceptionally high salary bonus for himself while the other employees paid far far less? He is a demon..
@@bignavin10 The other way of looking at it is that he was a free agent, available to work for any company in the world. If the Japanese wanted him they would effectively have to match the salary he could earn in Europe or the US and that's what they chose to do, no one forced them to do it, they chose to do it. That in my opinion does not make him a demon. Lets also not overlook the fact that the low paid executives almost bankrupted the company.
he sacked them to get their salary
@@bignavin10 that's the nature of a large corporation though, CEO/CFO/COO get obscenely high remuneration while rest of the staff don't even earn a fraction of that.

Great narration ..I can't believe I watched till the end am so sorry for the guy, subscribed!!!
I’m pretty sure he was used as a scape goat by very powerful and dangerous people.
Sure, but he's still a crook.
you mean Toyota
The most dangerous man in the world is any one with a daughter.
" powerful and dangerous people" are the board of directors who hired the Ghosn as the CEO... nothing crazy buddy.
@@janeprescott7381 Ha, can't argue with that 😄
Its cuz he let the juke be a thing.
lol
I remember a quote from a late interview in 2014 with Charles Ghosn where an audience member asked if they were ever planning to bring back affordable RWD sports coupes in light of the BRZ/GT86 and he said "Kids now days are the target market and they're not interested in that. more of them would rather have cool and funky cars like the JUKE"
Lol
Let's blame him for the cube too.
Need we say more 😂
Great work! This was highly informative. I’m not getting a maxima now lol
Great work👏🏼 Great investigation👍🏼Great documentary👊🏼
I'm a Nissan tech. Fuck em! I wouldn't own one, and I hope anyone reading this doesn't own any Nissan with a CVT transmission. You WILL need a new one!
Yeah fuck Ghosn!
This is probably the best short-film documentary I have seen, and certainly the best documentary I've seen in a couple years. Fantastic job @Albon.
Edit: what makes this video so great, personally, is the amount of research and study necessary to provide outcomes - then placing the result of those findings into sequence w/ appropriate cause-effect relationship. Check it out.

Uh no, it's a video with a very clear angle. Albon specifically fails to mention stuff that is already readily available including the fact the French government is actively investigating him after a forensic audit from Renault uncovered 11 million euros in questionable expenses. It also neglects to mention how Ghosn passed off his personal losses through the company books and failed to report over $90 million in unreported earnings over a 6 year period (this was extensively covered in Nikkei, one of Japan's largest publications).
He then proceeds to talk about the plea deal that other executives at Nissan received as if it's some sort of proof of some grand conspiracy against Ghosn while failing to point out that plea deals are common in most modern justice systems (including the US) as an attempt to get the guy at the top (in this case Ghosn). This video is in no way approaching the subject from a neutral perspective. Honestly it's quite appalling how much missing information is not present and to what lengths the video goes to avoid talking about why he was charged and to what extent his crimes supposedly were along with all the active investigations. Nowhere in the video does it mention the active investigation France (who were gungho about supporting him initially) is conducting after discovering 11 million euros in questionable expenses at Renault. Some of the charges being considered include tax evasion, fraud, and money laundering.
Your research, and presentation are amazing. You have a gift. Just found out your channel. Impressed
Nice research dude :) Always like this type of vids.

I'm speechless... Just wanna say, great video. Really interesting and shocking story. Who could ever tell that the Japanese authorities would proceed in such a dirty manner?
Wow, this was a great video! Learned a lot!
Japan being proud isolationists doesn't surpise me they would set up the richest guy in Japan who is not Japanese. I don't blame him for escaping.
From the beginning Carlos Ghosn was the tool for the Europeans. He is a Brazilian. Unless, he has some use for racist Europeans they will never allow an "outsider" to become a CEO of anything. His main goal was to infiltrate to Japanese business and take over at least one major company to steal technology and know how from Japanese, for the benefit of crooked European businessmen.
Ghosn did not do anything to the quality of Nissan products. To the contrary, Nissan quality dropped steadily. What he did was to integrate the Nissan as a company to European brands namely Renault group. Not surprisingly the quality of Renault got better, not at the level of other Japanese brands, after Nissan merger.
Obviously, Japanese are not idiots they eventually realized that, even though the sales figures seemingly getting better, their product quality is dropping terribly and product development practically came to a halt. So, they decided to take back the Nissan brand from the hands of the Europeans, and Europeans being the unethical partner in this merger, did not want to leave without poisoning the well.
Nothing will happen to Ghosn because his del with Europeans is complete, Similar to other situations, he will die before facing any legal authorities, perhaps staying in a prison for a few months in ultimate comfort, and he will continue his life with another identity on a remote land, perhaps an island in luxury.

@@Ronin-111 "Why are you so butthurt about this issue"
About what issue? I am sure you don't even have a remote idea of what I am talking about. So, tell me what issue are you referring to.
I’ve followed this case from the beginning and this is by far the best and most honest portrayal of the story. Even if Ghosn is guilty, the potential sentence he faced was essentially life in prison and exponentially more than would have been justified. Personally, I agree that simply firing him would have been the only justified action. I once lived there. Japan is no human rights angel. In fact, it has a long history of human rights abuses. I would love to see a follow up on the Taylors who were extradited to Japan. They will endure years of hell in a Japanese prison. Personally, I was disappointed in the US for allowing their extradition to Japan.
Human rights? LOL! Whose rights? Barbarians talk about human rights when they invade a whole nation, while forging lies without even sweating to prove them, and bring that nation into the stone age and beyond, you are talking about an individual who stole from everyone LOL!.
@@squidproquo2241 Are you talking about Afghanistan? That country has been kept in the stone age since it was used as a proxy war in the late 80s by the Taliban. Iran is a tragic story that shows the world how garbage Islam is. Iran used to be considered the America of the middle east. Now it's a dumpster fire hell bent on building a nuclear bomb just to kill off Israel. Truly shameful since just earlier this year an anonymous online survey conducted by the Iranian government found that most people there don't even believe in Islam and just pretend to be Muslim. Iraq's been a shithole since the fall of the Babylonian Empire. Are Western nations perfect? Nope. The ideology of classical liberal principles are superior - individual rights and responsibilities, equal rights, freedom of speech, freedom of mobility, laissez fair capitalism. This is why the west is most successful. Again, it's not perfect, but it's the best we have so far.
@@hardleecure "Are you talking about Afghanistan?"
First, you have to change your perception a little bit. I am not referring the US individually, when say "Barbarians."
Second, I am not referring to a particular nation since there are so many of them. However, having said that, there was Iraq in my mind. You can add Somalia, a nation which was brought to disarray after Berlin Conference by the active attacks from Britishits. Lebanon, which was brought to disarray to secure the presence of Israel and be the guaranty of European dominance in that region. Rwanda also comes to mind, today that nation is in perils.
Barbarians have a quite profitable business doing that all over the world., especially backed by the Dum Dviersas they discovered to keep their conscience clear from their false god (Money that is) as well.
"That country has been kept in the stone age since it was used as a proxy war in the late 80s by the Taliban. Iran is a tragic story that shows the world how garbage Islam is."
To the contrary Islam is not garbage but Europeans are. Islam is just a religion no different than Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism. However, Muslims are idiots to trust in the Europeans who blatantly built a replica of Westminster Abbey with the Big Ban clock on top of their most sacred place the Kabah. Unethical Barbarians who are brainwashed by the media such as yourself, will never admit that today's Muslims world is actually is the direct result of the Christian crusades which started to eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the world in the name Papacy i.e. the religious capital bank of western bigots (not god because if western Christianity would have been about god they wouldn't have destroyed native people wherever they invaded)
"Iran used to be considered the America of the middle east. Now it's a dumpster fire hell bent on building a nuclear bomb just to kill off Israel."
You are aware that the CIA of the USA and the Britishit MI6, brought down the democratic government of Iran in 1953, because the prime minister musaddiq wanted to nationalize the oil fields of Iran. After that the Puppet Dictator Pahlavi took control of iran mostly destroying all the infrastructure for the democratic practices. Then, Khoumayni who was backed by the Europeans, brought down Pahlavi, again. Khoumayni lived in France, and orchestrated his acts from there, until the taking down the dictatorship of Pahlavi.
"Truly shameful since just earlier this year an anonymous online survey conducted by the Iranian government found that most people there don't even believe in Islam and just pretend to be Muslim."
The true shame belongs to the western barbarians who truly are starting wars and destroying nations for a profitable business which they created themselves and oddly enough when there is no war the world economy comes to a stop. .
"Iraq's been a shithole since the fall of the Babylonian Empire."
Not really. Your history knowledge is quite dismal and what you know apparently is no deeper than what you learn from the biased media of the western bigots.
"Are Western nations perfect? Nope."
If only you could really mean what you say.
"The ideology of classical liberal principles are superior - individual rights and responsibilities, equal rights, freedom of speech, freedom of mobility, laissez fair capitalism. "
Then hwy are the native people are not allowed to govern themselves, but systematically destroyed everywhere where westerners rule? What kind of superior ideology invents the concept "Genocide" and practices it? What kind of superior ideology strives on wars but not peace? What kind of superior idology forces each and every individual to live debt?
You are duped and made to believe in a lie bigger than any other history.
"This is why the west is most successful."
Nope. West is not moist successful in the first place, However west is successful in accumulating wealth, because they do not have ethics to be called civilised. At best, it is the regime of the barbarians who pretend to be civilized.
"Again, it's not perfect, but it's the best we have so far.
3"
Again, humanity in its worst state throughout the history. No nation no empire exulted unethical practices this much before the westerners. One example is enough to reflect the mentality of this western barbarians: Pharmaceutical companies. not to allow anyone to be able to treat themselves with remedies from nature, they try to monopolize nature and they try to keep people semi sick all their lives to secure their profit.
You are right it it is not perfect. However, it is not only not perfect it is the most pathetic system that humanity could have applied with all the wealth accumulated. Instead of ending hunger, these they they are working to reduce the population of the world by mass murders.
Perfect? You can not even come close mentioning it, much less admitting it is not.

Liked, faved, AND Followed. What compelling storytelling. Almost felt like I was listening to one of Sega’s Yakuza/Shenmue plots. Interesting how life imitates art even in video games, and real life.
Well researched and presented thanks
my theory is that everyone has reached into the till, including Ghosen. he's the perfect scapegoat. Firstly he is the CEO, secondly he is a foreigner and does not speak the language (Japanese). if you pay out corporate money, you have this confirmed in writing by the supervisory board. I can't say about detention myself, I don't know the laws in Japan.
Yeah, I think the answer here is Ravinder Passi is probably the only "hero" in this story, and all the other players -- Ghosn, the Japanese government, police, and the executive boards of Mitsubishi and Nissan -- are the villains. It's like watching one of those mob movies where they all turn on each other.
@@romxxii
I never once doubted Ghosen’s “innocence”, if we can call it that.
It was just a matter of time for the rest of the corrupt board to be exposed.
The problem though: even after being exposed, nobody is held accountable.

Great piece. Nicely done.

The man sure does have an impressive background in the industry, my goodness.
CEOs can often cut cost by removing long term success factors, such as training and employee development, and focussing on the short term instead. The result appears to be "le cost cutting" and "le profits" but results in hollowing out of the company, resulting in its eventual failure.
Exactly. Those tactics are like saying heroin makes you happy while covering up its devestating long-term effects that destroy its user. But that is how the world works. Everything for short term gain, no matter what happens next because the people in charge have enriched themselves in the process and then can hide their wealth in some offshore paradise.
Yes!, let’s get rid of that costly maintenance, scrap the expensive hard learned infrastructure lessons of the past, and get this company “going” again! ....... this succeeds..... until it doesn’t

Plus he brought Nissan back from almost a sure death. I feel like they wanna set this man up.
@@powerhousepaperairplanesrogers He basically just fired nearly everyone and cut the company to the bones and utilized some of Renault's resources to help them. That strategy may have worked well short term but not long term as was clearly seen by the ever diminishing profits. Of course Nissan needed to make a lot of cuts but they don't need a corrupt CEO either. Surely they can just find a decent Japanese CEO who can manage it better.
@@--Singularity-- Toyota and other Japanese companies do it. The Japanese have always been good at finding the ideal balance between quality and price and profit.
@Alfred Weber It's the numale western mindset. Cut everything down to the bones and sell the assets and IP to competitors, and then, eventually, sell the brand to China. It's like everyone has amnesia about what Bane Capital did to Toys R Us.
Idk about the company politics, but hes sure guilty for not giving gtr a manual and had 370z unchanged for a decade :P
I'm pretty sure he had nothing to do with the GTR. But the lack of change and the lower quality of many Nissan's over the years was mostly his fault.
On point. The GTR should've had a manual transmission. Thankfully the new 400Z will have it.
Hahahaha
Gtr is still a great car despite it not having a manual.
the 'long standing tradition' mentioned is the same one that currently causes massive amounts of death from overwork in Japan. Just food for thought
