Exactly. If private citizens tried fraud on this scale they'd be in prison until they died. Surely dissolution is the least that VW deserves at this point.



Yes, because all those tens of thousands of employees that work at VW were complicit.

Dissolution is definitely not the way to handle this.

What should be done in my opinion is criminal proceedings against the management at the time of VW up to and including Winterkorn.

That would clear the air. Destroying VW for this makes no sense, it would leave 100's of millions of vehicles out there without support and it would cause job losses and economic damages to Germany that are dis-proportional.


Dissolution is definitely not the way to handle this.

Nationalisation would keep all low-level employees and remove the existing money/power structure. And since the banking crisis, we actually have precedent for this.


What an incredible way of thinking. If getting rid of you means losing a lot of jobs, you can break the law for decades with a sneer and hold us all hostage?

No.
