Bloomberg Businessweek Reporter, Matthew Campbell, uncovered details surrounding the escape and the events that led up to it.

Intrigued by how he pulled it off? Read the full account of Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan in Businessweek: www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-01-14/how-nissan-s-carlos-ghosn-was-smuggled-out-of-japan
basically this CEO made millions and is a hero for running away from that Criminal Empire Japan to that Safe Haven For The Righteous TURKEY LMAO for under-declaring taxes while Julian Assange should rot in jail as a villain for showing the world how corrupt you guys are?
Excellent stuff, really wanted to find out more about how he did it.
@@goldsilvervscrisiscollapse4320 problem is japan are very cruel law and certain point he is better run.. since in other country this is all legal... just not in japan...
That is one of the biggest loads of bullshit even heard.
He claims there was a group within Nissan which did not want to merge so they went looking for sort on him??? What!!!! He never denies the dirt they found lol.
Just that they only found my crimes because they did not like my idea of a merger.
What a pompous asshole.
So was his prosecution legitimate?
"He was wearinf a surgical mask, the ones you wear for pollution..."
Oh, the innocence before COVID19.
@M Pulverman exactly the tourists stick out like a sore thumb when they wore masks
COVID was in full swing when this video was released
It was right as covid was secretly hitting, too. He protected himself unwittingly!
Actually wearing a mask in Japan before COVID was quite common whenever someone is sick they put on mask, most Asian countries had been use to this, due to previous bird flu, sars virus.
@@reggie178965 yeah. idk why people aren't aware of this. Asia and japan in particular have the mask embedded in their culture. And like you said; it's worn by those who are sick to prevent them spreading their germs.
Japanese prosecutors have a 99% conviction rate. You be the judge, if that is reasonable or not. We don't know if Ghosn is guilty or not, but come on... he wasn't going to get any sort of justice in Japan.
That's crazy
Yea their culture is intense, even if 1/3 judges knows he is inoocent. It is political suicide to disgrace another official like that.
What a joke
Waaittt whaaat ?
@@FirstClass102 Typical in asian cultures...
Carlos Ghosn entire life is unprecedented - first man to be CEO of two Fortune 500 companies, first man to escape Japan while being detained, first man to… put Japan in its place for his mistreatment? Don’t underestimate him.
It's a bomb from the savages
dude's a clown
What do the Japanese tail agents tell to the chief police officer?
Carlos' Gone
Ghosn is 60 seconds
Carlos go son
BE GHOSN
He Ghosn mang
...and on to Ollie with the weather...
Ollie: IT'S GHOSN RAIN!!!
This guy was framed. Nissan and Japanese politicians weren't about to let a French company take over a traditional Japanese one, and he was their fall guy.
Yeah, and now the company will go bankrupt. That's Japanese leadership for you 🤣
He got ousted by jealous peers it seems.
not surpsing.
@@Kenosha01 The burden of proof lies on the people who claim Ghosn was framed.
ken x Comparing prosecution rates for different justice system is mostly meaningless. High prosecution rate in Japan means that the prosecutor will not bring cases to the court if there’s little evidence. Low prosecution rate is also a problem because it’s wasting innocent people’s time. Canada excluding Quebec has a similar prosecution rate as Japan.
Japanese basically have this principle in their society. You can learn Japanese, you can learn to eat and dress like them, you can even marry a Japanese person, but you cannot become accepted in Japanese society as a Japanese person. You're always an outsider. Even the foreigners they hire, they do so for a few years. They want to learn some new technology or method and then internalize it. After that they don't need you. This is something an Australian tour guide who has worked in Japan for many years told me.
Forget "non East Asians," there are countless stories of half Japanese- Chinese or Half Koreans who are *disowned by their families* because they're _NOT PURE_
That's everywhere around the world
@@gologolo3266 Not really. Not at the same scale.
They’re no different than white supremacists. They’re just Japanese Supremacists
@@gloire83 of course not at the same scale , some countries less some countries more but in the end it's everywhere, and I think the best thing to do is to dominate society instead of being dominated by it, and this is an advice from a foreigner who has lived in 17 different countries
So basically Nissan sacked the head who saved them from going broke.
sounds like something renault would do
Nissan and Mitsubishi were going to be subsidiaries of Renault otherwise and that would be a big blow to Japan's pride. These are companies that made the GT-R and the Lancer Evolution.
@@NickyNightShine The new GTR was the brain child of Ghosn. I remember seeing the documentary.
Now Nissan is heading straight into bankruptcy and that a fact you cannot deny
@@borninjapan231 So much for that Pride.
When they realized Carlos was Ghosn... it was already too late.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!
HAS! (not was)
he was really thinking out of the box when he was in it
The "s" shouldn't be silent idk why yall say it like "gone" instead of "ghosn"
@@anemeth9281 english police. weeeuuuww... wweeeeuueee,,,
I use to work for a Japanese company, this is no surprise
yeah.. there are people who start ww2 with america
Its fcked up how Americans ignore the millions r4ped, beheaded and tortured by the Japanese during ww2 and just highlight how someone messed with their freedom ships
I used to work for Nissan.
@@mentoshoarder5175 Asians haven't forgotten. Koreans, Chinese and Taiwanese still hate Japan.
Obviously not warlike hostility anymore but in their pop culture and various other media's Japan is always seen as the bad guy. Deservedly considering what Japan did and Japan till this day doesn't acknowledge the R4pe of Nanjing and various other atrocities committed against it's Asian neighbors.
@@chandrashekard.7543 don't spread lies. Japan was the one who released all the information related to it's war crimes okay. They don't acknowledge only the comfort woman issue for which they have evidence that it's not true. The unit 731 documents ,rape of Nanking were all revealed by Japanese govt.
15-45 years for Ghosn, meanwhile the WW2 criminals in the tokyo trials stayed in prison for max 7 years ...
Actually his "escape" works well for Japan. Nissan remains Japanese and they don't have to deal with a prolonged case where the evidence is weak.
And probably knew he was being smuggled out in a box which is an undignified exit. They probably laughed in secret and pretended that he actually 'escaped'.
i never thought of that..it's possible
His escape is an insult to the entire Japanese system
although what makes all of this possible is, he does some wrongdoings of course, regardless of the amount. That mistake is probably found and exaggerated multiple times so it looks worse.
Since his ousting as CEO, Nissan sales has eroded exponentially.....
any foreigner who has been in japan and lived there supports ghosn. he is a legend. he had to escape
There are many foreigners in Japan that are arrested for bogus charges and detained without being allowed to contact any lawyers or family members and had to wait for a really long time to get a fair trial. Like imagine you are walking to your house from a bar, suddenly got arrested out of nowhere, immediately thrown to prison, and not allowed to contact anyone, family members, friends, or even a lawyer. It is so common that there is a group of lawyers who specialized in helping those peoples. My sister who used to work there really hates them because they are very racist towards the non-Japanese.
This has recently happened to me. Aside from my main job, I took an interest in helping stray cats as they are treated badly. I saved spayed and neutered 100 cats and found forever homes for 90 cats. The remaining 10 I am keeping becoming too attached. I had 15 detectives one day show up at my apartment with a fabricated search warrant and claimed I had broken a Japanese national’s neck. I was forcefully taken to the nearest police department, forced to sign documents I could not read. At first I refused and was told they would lock me up for 20 days and asked who would know you are here and asked if my cats could survive not eating for 20 days. At this point I lost my main job, taken to court and without any proof found guilty. My city appointed lawyer was a useless pc of excrement. I am desperately trying to start a go fund me but due to all the scams, it’s difficult! I need help.
@@Hyperlux didn't you have a friend to translate
@@Hyperlux This is sad, I hope you are well Try to get out of this brutal country they wear masks
Sounds like Guantanamo Bay without the torture.
@@Hyperluxi hope that you are safe and soul now, and you proved that you were right and innocent.
He made it just in time. Just before the lockdown. Amazing.
Honestly, it sounds like he might have been justified to flee.
I would have done the same. Problem with Japan judiciary system, it's almost like your guilty till proven innocent.
He stole 60,000,000 dollars from Nissan, get your facts straight.
@@jamez1224 France issued an international arrest warrant for him. Japan was right all along. The conviction rate in Japan is extremely high because prosecutors won't indict you unless you're highly likely guilty.
@@aoyi8458 ❤ Carlos
@@mfreak1126 France cannot stand by him, so he complied with the decisions of the Japanese court for the sake of interests. The story is open and clear, and the latter clarified the matter more. Either one of them has no mind or he is jealous.
There will be a movie about this in 10 years!
Yup and the ending is probably a body in a ditch
A Netflix docu-tainment in, 10, 9, 8... months.
Do they even make movies anymore?
Featuring Rowan Atkinson
The amount of twists and turns this story is, and is going to most likely continue to take has got me hooked already.
I will say this. If this man mysteriously dies..... Conspiracy theories galore. I will say that there is obviously more to this story than anyone is telling.
I remember reading a detailed post on Reddit by someone who pointed out these things before Carlos even said it himself. They talked about the timeline of events and how the speed of it happened in such a manner that only inside law officials could expedite the process. How he was unable to bail earlier on his first lockup was another major indication of inside law officials pulling strings.
I remember your mother not sending you to school
@hanajinks care to share your story?
The man that helped him escape was my brother’s high school football coach. Small town coach to household name.
nani
So basically a guy who only cares about money
I have a job for this man, n of course you,ll get an intro fee
Did he threat the Turkish pilot to fly or his family would be in danger?
Whatever the case, he is one bad man to be able to pull this off and not just some idiot. Authorities always get pissed when they allot resources just to have a small team mitigate it all.
Ghosn played Ace Attorney and knows defending yourself in Japanese court is impossible.
nah if he had known he wouldn't invest in japan
hahaha

@@aoyi8458 show us the evidence and we will believe you.
@@muhali3
This is just standard practice for executives, really. It's ultimately only an assumption - but a safe one to make.
Of course he was the highest paid CEO in Japan, I would like to think that comes along with being CEO of the top 3 companies.
He was the CEO of two companies and a chairman of another. He earned 3 times as much as the CEO of Toyota, a company that dwarfs Nissan/Renault. He was massively over payed.
@@teamtoken He was able to turn Nissan around, it's hard to say whether or not a cheaper CEO would've been able to do that.
@@teamtoken I dont think he was overpaid, I think the other executives are underpaid. How hard is it to get to CEO/chairman? How many decisions and lives depend on you? and then from my calculations the CEO of Toyota, a company that competes with Volkswagen group to be the biggest car maker in the world, and he only makes like 300k dollars/month?
Or the CEO of Honda, who gets paid only 100k/month?
Thats low money for the top position and for one of the most desired and hardest jobs to get.
@@matth23e2
"He was able to turn Nissan around"
Yes once he did. But he had been terrible since then. Especially for years before his arrest.
@@teamtoken overpayed my ass.
He saved nissan from going bankrupt and in 2018 nissan's revenue was 94.9 billion dollars!!! thank's to Him.
It's like saying steve jobs is overpayed. you even literally said that he was the CEO of TWO companies. So it's natural that he makes more money by working more hours and managing more than one company.
Things don't add up.
Ghosn is able to speak only basic Japanese and (afaik) he doesn't read or write any.
Yet, somehow he was aledgedly able to fool a small army of accountants at Nissan and secretly pocket a sum of money that amount to just a small fraction of his yearly salary?
That’s the typical lebanese ( im from lebanon )
he did not fool anyone. everyone knew what he was doing. I mean everyone. I even knew it before he got arrested. because it was everywhere. but police was so scared to arrest him because he was powerful and rich.
English is the standard language in Nissan.
@@joehaddad5986 Haha, funny stereotype and haha you're allowed to do it.
But Ghosn was proficient in risk assessment, a cost-cutter and proclaimed by the automotive world as a Master of Efficiency. It all seems too irrational. If he wanted to cheat NISSAN he would not have done that. They accused him of a crime that was completely out of character. While nationalist agendas in the decision-making process of a Japanese company is not completely unheard of...
Kostas Froudarakis you clearly haven’t followed what he also did in France. He’s a cost cutter for the company, but a money hugger for himself.
In fact, it's very simple. Nissan was very happy to have Carlos Ghosn as its director until they became afraid that the company was getting too close to France and Renault.
I like Japan a lot but the corruption is even worse than in the US, it's awful
There's a lot of speculations about this guy and his actions, but I personally think that he is innocent, at least until proven guilty. And the Japanese system has treated him like a guilty man from the beginning. This isn't fair to him nor any human being. We have rights and are allowed to live within the boundaries of the law.
georgesyves9 it wasn’t about him vs Nissan & J govt. it was more about Japan & US vs France. So far that’s what I read
@@supercjh what do you mean exactly Japan & US vs France?
"We have rights?" Who is we? Don't like Japan's legal system, don't live there.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector
Yah when someone help you, yet you backstab him, how do that person feel then
@@80s_Boombox_Collector "we have rights" don't like how the US/canada/australia/europe work, don't live there. Straw man argument.
Weak argument.
The problem is in Japan they have a 99% conviction rate. Once your accused you go to jail.
The conviction rate in Japan is extremely high because prosecutors won't indict you unless you're highly likely guilty. There are a lot people who got arrested but weren't indicted. By the way, France issued an international arrest warrant for this guy this year. Japan was right all along.
That’s really corrupt. Look at how swiftly the system locked him up in solitary confinement for 100+ days with no bail! Screw that!
Fly face deserves every ounce of it.. little shameless cock is just one of a country full of them.. indecent people

What make you so sure
I worked as a lube tech, at a Nissan dealership. As soon as news broke out about him, we saw our clientele DECLINE like crazy.
Japan needs to update its ethnocentric, narrow-minded judicial system to make it more fair, unbiased, transparent.
No they don't. Who are you, as a foreigner, to demand change in a sovereign nation?
It was clearly a hit job on him, They need to make a movie about the escape.
Escape Plan 4 confirmed
Agreed!!
It's not that exciting, prison break is much better
@@FreeminderXIII prison break isn't a real detailed story
This is a really interesting story. Carlos basically got stabbed in the back by his board, who was afraid Renault would gain too much control over their company.

@@yamyam2987 yes Japanese are racist
Excellent move of Carlos Ghosn. It is impressive and amazing that he could respond with such elegant scape. And immediately fight for his vindication. I hope that eventually he will be rightfully rewarded.
Carlos Ghosn's case needs to be made into a documentary/movie and receive the global attention that it deserves. Changes to Japan's justice system will only come when there is enough outside pressure ("gaiatsu" in Japanese).
They could loot and burn stores? (Not working here... but?...)
@@PhosphorescentBrain Ha
Yeah, like "Ghosn in 60 Seconds"
He did a whole documentary of what happened and his whole life story, its on “Shahid” called Carlos Ghosn : the last flight
And in other news, Carlos Ghosn has reportedly invested heavily into Beirut's restaurant/bar/club district. When asked why, he stated the area's real estate was undervalued and was expected to blow up in the near future. Stand by.
Japanese were too proud of their system to imagine he'd dare to escape from the confines.
Serves them well for acting blatantly in their own interests only
not proud. Too racist you mean?
its like Tesla wont allow a BLACK person to be the CEO of Tesla because its a Company thats been founded by a White Men.
weebs pretend to know everything about japan but never know the real face of japan.
that is because, for them, japan is the perfect imaginary world learned from anime.
Anime is the product of the desperation of japan when they are being oppressed
Its sad so many people don't realize that.
Yeah, you tell it like it is for all the weebs! They are all the same
@@Namealreadyinsue Not really. I like anime and dont like Japan that much
@@truthboom the japanese are very reserved in contrast to anime characters. the characters are not even drawn japanese.

You must be American
Great content Bloomberg! Thumbs up for all team who worked on 😃😃
He was chairman of Nissan & Mitsubishi but other administrators of these companies (Japanese administrators of course) have to see & authorize everything related to the company's finance.
This is purely a plot.
Even if he actually managed to hide financial frauds to them, that makes less than a 100 millions lost from a guy who saved two Japanese companies worth billions...
i also believe so
A lot of sources say Ghosn “owned” the company and had all the power. If he started using the company’s money to make up for his private investment loss, the other peers will surely revolt.
Loss is loss
It's a plot. What about all chief financial officers of all the managed companies ?
As someone who has loved and purchased Nissan cars and trucks I will never buy Nissan again because of the shameful way they treated Ghosn.
It's not simple as that,
Remember he laid off ten of thousands people and couple of factory all at once and get paid triple than Honda CEO, even Toyota CEO which waaay bigger company than Nissan Renault Mitsubishi combined
I think there are groups that have grudge against him
weak sauce, ghosn is no Cinderella either, I dont feel sorry for him
Everybody tries to think outside the box but this guy thinks inside the box. Lol
It was Mike Taylor that was the mastermind who planned and conducted the operation.
This guys a freaking legend! Hope he gets to clear his name on his own terms.
It’s so clearly a set up. I worked for a big Japanese company in NYC many years ago and not all but a lot of Japanese people consider non-Japanese like second class citizens
Making false statements to leave out compensations he was going to receive.
Breach of trust relating to personal investment losses
Breach of trust relating to payments Nissan dealer
American CEO: Bruh, that's what we call around here Tuesday
Those accusations weren't even filed in the real lawsuit, just in the press. The real lawsuit is for a failure to pay taxes on a bonus compensation that was never awarded.The law does not state that he should pay taxes on bonus on taxes he DIDN'T receive, but it still was enough to put him in prison until trial, which was in 3 years. Ridiculous.
@@marc9999 Thanks for the explanation. It did seem nonsensical.
If I recall, Ghosn was prosecuted for the same crime in the US, and he lost the case. He didn’t receive the remuneration yet, but he was promised to and that makes him responsible for the tax. I’m sure it works the same in Japan too.
@@nickkei2838 so I could offer to pay you 1 billion dollars, but then when taxes are due you have to pay taxes on that money you havent recieved yet and subsequently be put in prison because you cant afford it? If this is true, you could put anyone in prison you wanted.
@@pluto8404 This is more like a preemptive taxation to me.
In Japan.. if they arrest you like this.. it’s because they’ve already found you guilty. The court is just a formality.
Not because they want to capture you first, then find a way to make you guilty later?
Same with USA. In federal courts particularly.....if you are there, you are guilty.
in many cases, Christian you're right.
not really!
SunriseLAW .. I can appreciate the similarities to the US federal courts.. absolutely. The feds will put a nice red bow on top when bringing the case to court.
8:46- 'He was wearing a surgical mask, the one you would wear for germs or pollution'- yea dude, we know about this Mask, trust me, we know!
Interestingly enough, Nissan did have a serious coup that was out to get Ghosn. While he wanted a merger, a huge portion of the company wanted Nissan to stay solely Japanese, and the government of course agreed. They hired a lawyer to investigate Ghosn and other various wrong doings in the company, but when the lawyer started finding out that just about everyone in the highest branches of the company were all embezzling funds and committing crimes they had him fired and ruined his life.
So, even if Ghosn is guilty, he was right to flee because in Japan the rate of guilty convictions is something crazy like 97%, it's basically guilty till proven innocent beyond all reasonable doubt.
Lebanese people are smart I’ll give them that. I work with them in Canada and many are very wealthy and successful.

castor wheels, low emissions, and cosy interior. Innovation that exits.
He was framed. What a legend.

Interesting documentary- well presented.
Really enjoyed the way this was reported 👌 Thank you.
Absolutely, excellent reporting ! 🏆
My company is a large-format printing business. Our two biggest customers for the last 15 years have been Nissan and Michelin Tire. Thanks Carlos Ghosn!
Well made and presented.
this was a good storytelling, good job Robin Fall
Honestly, I respect this.
Thanks for exposing Japan 👍
Super interesting video ! Merci !
Beautifully made video
It reminds me of the Olympus scandal, where Michael Woodford was screwed over by the Japanese old boys network...
I do not care what the Japanese say he did wrong because the only thing he actually did was save Nissan. They were never fond of him from the beginning due to the fact that he was not Japanese.
but he gave us cars that we wanted the z and gtr
Great upload
nothing new here.
Let me make it clear for everyone uninitiated - Nissan refused to pay his bonuses to Ghosn. He found another way to compensate himself. I don’t blame him.
Well said.
who would sacrifice his position and annual wealth for one time "pity cash"
It’s pronounced Gho-son not ghon 🤦🏻♂️ I’m Lebanese
Dude and they mispronounce it repeatedly with confidence.
Mehdi Mir yeah!!! It’s annoying watching the whole video like this...
Ghosn generally goes by the French pronunciation of his name. It is how he is known worldwide.
@jogennotsuki - the french could just get rid of the S
@@zeerock5394 yes there is, we usually don't pronounce these S.
Thinking in a box was a thinking out of it
I aways believed him since the beggining of this history. Japanese companies are very, very against the idea of mergers or even buyouts by foreign companies. The justice system in Japan is very corrupt (Yakuza is basically decriminalized) and unfair (how many innocents are sent to the death row and are still there without any review of their cases?). He did the absolute right to flee to another country where he feels safer with the justice system.
The irony of this is that a Nissan ad popped under this video.
"Sophisticated high tech country like Japan" now that I live in Japan, I can tell you for a fact, that this is a misconception. Japan isn't high tech, and the police aren't either. Japan is largely well known for certain electronics manufacturing, but it doesn't extend at all to software. Those electronics are pretty niche consumer products as well. The government is notoriously slow moving and wouldn't be on board with broadscale things like CCTVs like in the UK. It seems like it would be not as difficult as they make it seem to escape Japan.
After living in Japan for 20 years and being a tax payer, I am in a similar predicament. 15 cops raided my apartment with a fake search warrant one morning where I was accused of pushing a Japanese down and the person was claiming injuries. They messed up my apartment over the clothing I was wearing that particular day. Then in front of my family was taken away and interrogated without a translator. I was forced to sign documents and let go. First, I never even touched the so called victim but I did give him a few choice words at the time. The victim got back at me by going to the hospital and getting a doctors certificate claiming a neck injury which was used against me in order to extort money. It’s very bad. I was called in by the prosecutor and was told he believed the victim and if I couldn’t pay the victim, then he would prosecute me. When I mentioned I didn’t even touch the victim, he said he is prosecuting me. The he yelled out that he can’t stand American foreigners and told me to get the F out. Even though I was given a city appointed lawyer, the lawyer mentioned that 99% I will be found guilty even without any proof!!! So I will end up in Japanese jail and put to hard labor. Once I pay back fines and restitution to the victim at $28.00 a day, after say 3 years, once I get out, I will only step foot on a plane and deported. I wished the CZcams community could help me. So my word to all thinking about coming to Japan will be a mistake. If you come here on a tour it’s safer but alone, there is a high risk you could end up like me. Since I am a nobody, I am 53 years old with 13 rescue cats, nobody is giving me the time of day!!!
Thats a harsh story ..:
Any updates? Are you in prison?
No, I am not in jail. More like house arrest after the verdict of being found guilty with no proof whatsoever. I have all my documents. I wish somebody would help me out there. Prior to getting jammed up, I volunteered my time saving stray cats. In Japan they are treated badly. I love animals. I save, spayed, neutered 100 cats. Found forever homes for 90 and ended up keeping 10 as I became too attached. Anyways at the police department I was forced to sign documents I can not read. When I refused I was told they would hold me for 20 days. Then was asked if my cats could survive 20 days. I had no choice and gave in. So far I have been found guilty of a crime I did not commit. I lost my job and am somewhat under house arrest. I wish somebody would help me start a go fund me. It’s difficult due to all the scams however I can prove my situation with the documents I have from this incident. Anyways, I saved these cats and want to give them a full life so if I can leave this dump, they will go wherever I go. They are my only family…….
How do you have internet access then?
I am under house arrest just like Carlos. The only problem is, I don’t have the same type of resources as Carlos so I have to stay put.
From Tokyo all my best personal regards thank you very much for news 📰,
Nice investigation! 👏🏾
That thumbnail at 9:31 is everything I laughed for about 15min only someone with extreme wealth could have pulled that
move
I’m telling you! 🤣🤣🤣
Guys like him should be called for guest lectures at universities.
He used to be called
Love this, very interesting
Just to correct some information , first he didn’t lose surveillance that way , what he did was :he noticed cops tracking him so he complained to the judge , but nothing was done and then he was advised to call tabloid (newsletter) to expose the cops and write an article about that , then he noticed that the cops stop for 3 days each time he called the tabloids guys , so the moment he wanted to escape he called the tabloid which resulted in him not getting tracked
Secondly , the big box was not xrayed because he chose go escape in the holidays period , and the airport staff were not permanent , so the escape team told them that the box will get damaged if it was xrayed , and they told them that the musicians used to work with micheal jackson lol.
So that is the real story told by ghosn in a Lebanese poadcast
Japan has been a closed society for years. It is not that foreigners are not welcome but tradition dictates that they be segregated. When Carlos Ghosn took over Nissan, he was viewed with disdain because it went against tradition. He changed how Nissan was structured and managed to save it from bankruptcy. No matter what decisions where made by him at the time he was under constant scrutiny. It was a matter of time that those who had a personal vendetta against him would get the opportunity to dispose of a foreigner like him.
Netflix movie coming up
This is so hectic. Someone needs to make a movie about this.
I can’t wait to see a movie about his escape
No one will dispute he is a successful leader and polled the company from busting. His strength and energy on defending himself are clearly a sign he is innocent. He could only hide in his house and not meet anyone but he is a legend.
We'll see how Nissan and Mitsubishi do without him! Unfortunately, I heard many stories like this from people studying or working in Japan!
Now that is the Man with a Plan. Respect!
Great motion graphics!
When somebody says ”sophisticated high-tech” about Japan. You know they only went once or twice for vacation 😂
Japan is a very advanced country.
@@theotryhard8651 Techologically yes, yet socially it is somewhat reminiscent of the 80's. This is the paradox of Japan.
True... It's like the whole country has fetishes for paper, pen, and seals
Yeah only socially advanced US and EU can spend a day without riots, shootings and terrorist attacks.
@@nickkei2838 like the gas attack in Japan, suicide forest and Yakuza. it's not a la la land.
Am glad he left that unfair country
