Japanese executives to spend time in US prison
Apparently for fixing prices of seat-belts sold to Japanese auto makers' US plants. And we're actually spending tax money on incarcerating foreign nationals who didn't physically injure anyone in the US. This is profoundly retarded -- shame the Japanese authorities don't tell us to go copulate ourselves with a fire axe, and that if we want 'em, we can come get 'em ourselves...
U.S. takes action in two auto parts price-fixing cases | Reuters If anything, we should be grateful to them for giving Ford and GM a tiny bit of a leg up, since this particular instance only applied to US subsidiaries of Japanese auto makers. |

I think the seventy million dollar fine was enough to get the point across. I don't think we need to spend money to lock people up over this.

However, if actual jail time is possible for a previously untouchable executive, then thats a far better deterrent to prevent continued schemes like this.

In the early days of the Texas oil boom crimes were committed by oil company owners on a regular basis. It was like NASCAR; if you weren't cheating you weren't really in it to win.
Fines meant nothing, but jail time did. Today when you operated in Texas in a regulated business, such as oil, you must have a registered agent in the state who will do the jail time if your company engages in criminal acts. For further details contact the Texas Railroad Commission. |
