He'd forgotten what it's like to go from a country with no oranges to a country with oranges.

They probably left the door unlocked and the private jet on the runway until he finally figured he could run.
Its called Face Saving.

Nissan and Ghosn settled the case with the SEC by agreeing to pay a $15 million fine, The New York Times reported on September 24.
Did he pay the fine or only agree to pay it?

I think the whole thing was a trumped up, political prosecution. The Japanese couldn’t stand the idea that Nissan was being run by a Frenchman.

Enough that they’d waited a decade-plus for it? Yeah, I don’t think so.

I have a strange new respect for all those prepper writers who say you should get a second passport.

I don't have much of anything to go off of, but the following sentence from the excerpt makes me think this was quite a lot of fake charges. How do you "under-report future income"?
was arrested in November 2018 on financial misconduct charges of under-reporting his future compensation and breach of trust.
To: Svartalfiar
In America if something like that is true the SEC imposes a fine. We don’t throw people in jail. It’s not a crime. I’ve never heard of any similar prosecution against any Japanese executive officer. I don’t like how prosecutors in allegedly developed countries are pursuing political protections. It’s antidemocratic.

But how can you misreport future income? It's future, you don't know how much it's going to be. And who would you even be reporting it to? Shareholders? Guessing how much the company is gonna pay you next year? That's internal functions, so can't really be a crime. The SEC or IRS? Why do they care what your future income might be? They just care about what you've already been paid...?
