I could agree, but sometimes the question is: Do they resign because of
all the shame and responsibility?
Or because "I will get 28 million pension and not be legally
prosecuted...who cares" ?
That´s why I wrote down my point 2)

Piech would get all my (financial) respect if he knew about all this,
resigned, came back, and lead VW into a bright new future.
Wouldn´t that be a great trick?! Or he just go too old and
demented...who knows

Regards
Raimund
