@Enonymouse_ Carlos Ghosn is a hero and a legend. The Japanese criminal justice system is riddled with serious flaws which would not pass the lithium test in any democracy. If he was found innocent - impossible because trials here are just to rubber stamp the police decision that one is guilty, or guilty ( as a default position because everyone before a jpn criminal court is found guilty, we would never know for sure, because it is Japan.

Crooks who act like ice cream won't melt in their mouths. Scary.

I have had very positive experience visiting and working with Japanese companies but early on learned that the business culture is very different. Several years ago a friend (American) was hired to join the Manhattan office of one of the largest Japanese trading companies in the world. Not long after, he decided to start learning Japanese at a local college. When management heard about it, he was told in no uncertain terms to drop the course.

What if Woodford ended up headless? That could've happened. The was more than a $1B missing. That's more than enough reason for the company to get rid of their whistleblower. It's currently happening with Boeing.

Jan 2021 Olympus sold "divested" its camera company to JIP Japan Industrial Partners, which was renamed OMDS OM Digital Solutions. You can already see the new logo label on the camera 47:12 Interesting back in 2020 and 2021 it was very unclear why Olympus was dumping their camera company and never mentioned the financial scandal and company restructuring.

@@numbersix8919 Absolutely, Olympus (now OMDS) glass is absolutely first-rate. Their 12-100mm f/4 in particular is my favorite lens of all time, by any manufacturer. It’s a “vacation lens” that’s as sharp as many primes, and *very* well weather-sealed. (I also never owned one personally, but their 300mm f/4 was just an unbelievable optic, with outstanding image stabilization and weather sealing as well. My main camera is an E-M5 MkIII, with an original E-M1 as backup. I’d love to have an OM-1, but can’t afford it based on my retirement income and the limited amount of photography I do these days.)

That a large company has relations with or even sponsors large mafias is nothing surprising or new. The movie Robocop shows this very clearly. I have never met a mega company that is clean and honest.

BUT, as we should all understand now - why, lag of investment in their camera business ended in a decision to "depart" and sell the camera division. As a dedicated owner/user of Olympus cameras since the days of the first OM-1 (film), I was unable to understand their decision to sell of the camera division - but this documentary explains it all. And admitted, every one else has since caught up with what the OMD-EM series introduced back in 2012 all due to the new owner, JIP, has not been able or willing to put up the investment needed to stay ahead - sad.
