Look at the top headlines about vows to increase wages and this one on corporate malfeasance ...pure theater. They suffer no consequences except an amakudari soft landing or generous transfer. Where are the fraud prosecutions?

"No problem , we all cheat ." huh?

Nice headline, but he's just adjusting his glasses.

No biggie, He'll just be reassigned to another position in the company.

He wouldn't be quitting if hte next amakudari position and the golden parachutes were not already lined up.

There were 3 Mitsubishi men, and the little one said: "Roll over, roll over". So they all rolled over and Aikawa fell out.
Vernie Jefferies
Well that's a first. He actually gave himself a FACEPALM.

Resigning as President, or resigning from the company? Two quite different things. He'll probably turn up again in a few months time, as head of a Mitsubishi subsidiary, the corporates take care of their own.

Is resigning really a way of taking responsibility? I'm sure that, facing corporate fraud charges would be more appropriate.

Hardly Oscar material. Did Carlos have a live feed in his super villain lair?

Can't wait to see Abe's picture, with the same headline.

I wonder what he put into his eyes to make himself cry? This is just the first of a few other heads that will probably roll.
