so we know that VW "cheated". But how was it done?

CEO says to his underling: go and get the the diesel engine certified.
Underling goes to his/her underling and tells them get it done. And so on.
Diesel engineer knows that it can't be done and orders the programmers to
put in cheat code. So there must be lots of people involved who "knew", at
least programmers, engineer? Everybody is quiet, doesn't go home and tells
SO about the work? SO doesn't chat with neighbors....
Difficult to imagine that everybody kept a quiet lip... but has to be like
that?

What other scenarios are possible?
