"Dirty Money" Series 1&2 Netflix

[Mr Gus]

Good documentary series.
Including A+ piece on those cheating bastards at Volkswagon. (s2 ep2)

Watched these a while back, and thought the VW and Trump episodes were shocking. Well, they are all shocking, but there's the bad you expect, and then there's the bad you get, wow!

Just a personal thing, but I'm starting to forgive VWG, no not forgive, but perhaps forget, as Herbert Diess is making enormous efforts to drag them towards BEV's as quickly as possible, even risking his job a couple of times, so that helps a bit.

You remember the bit after they'd confessed (because there was no way out) them gassing the monkey's for 3-4 hours at a time via the exhausts of their vehicles? (from 18.15 minutes in) "To show the public the benefits of diesel cars" by forming a phoney research company ...W@*****

Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute ..maybe because they continued a mass orgy of f***ing the public over!?

6-7 times more pollutants than standards "allow" ..that's a lot of liberties & lives taken.

Would have been better if they used their own liar management & their kids, ..after all they were poisoning everyone else.
(without the tubing "disappearing" into the ceiling, then fed back into the room & into the monkey cells.

The car was of course also rigged.

Not much info about jail time served for the "few"
Nothing of the coder(s) who undoubtedly knew what they were doing..

& in the uk, the end result was merely this..

"United Kingdom
The Department for Transport announced on 24 September 2015 that it would begin re-testing cars from a variety of manufacturers to ensure the use of "defeat devices" was not industry wide.[270] The UK Parliamentary Transport Select Committee opened an enquiry into Volkswagen Emissions Violations with evidence sessions on 12 October 2015 and 25 January 2016. The Select Committee published a letter from Paul Willis, managing director of Volkswagen Group UK Ltd of 21 December 2015 stating: "In very simple terms, the software did amend the NOx characteristics in testing. The vehicles did meet EU5 standards, so it clearly contributed to meeting the EU5 standards in testing".[271]

A report on "real world" tests commissioned by the Government published in April 2016 showed emissions from 37 diesel engines up to 14 times higher than had been claimed, with every vehicle exceeding the legal limit of nitrogen oxide emissions.[272] Only Volkswagen group vehicles were found to have test cycle detection software.

In January 2017, an action group announced it had 25,000 vehicle owners who were seeking compensation of £3,000–4,000 per vehicle"
