The scandal is due to incompetent, greedy, entitled management who know they will never be properly held to account for their actions so grab the money and stuff everyone else!

No kidding? Tell us all something we don't know.

In other words greed. Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Perhaps the title of the article should be, "Kobe Steel admits this scandal is due to a lack of quality controls and a focus on profits"
I have a feeling this is really going to hurt their business. The article also says,
"As of Friday, the company said 474 out of 525 affected customers found no safety issues or their products were deemed safe by Kobe Steel, up from 470 earlier this week."
If I was buying or using Kobe Steel manufactured product in any application critical to safety or the environment I would certainly not take Kobe Steel's word for it and I would hire my own 3rd Party to perform the investigation.

Can’t have been focused too much on profits after all then.
