This is a step that I have pointed out as coming next!
Next is NOW!
VW admitted to fraud under former execs & paid huge fines. Now VW is demanding that former board members pay them back for the losses!
Screenshots from a translated version of the article! #ButNothingsHappening
Former CEO who resigned in 2015 over the scandal has recieved a demand to pay over one billion Euro to compensate VW for his misconduct!
4 other former execs are also in the crosshairs for smaller amounts. But VW is expecting insurance companies who provided executive liability insurance to pay up a 1/2 of that billion Euro. Which obviously will be a huge hit to the insurance companies.
Which will motivate the insurance companies to force better conduct by insured execs & companies in the future...
It may also lead the insurance companies to investigate & prove criminal conduct by the execs to invalidate the insurance coverage! They will collect the #receipts!
Several of the execs have been indicted for fraud & now the insurance companies have at least 1/2 a billion reasons to hand over the evidence of their guilt!
In the past, executives have gotten away without taking too big of a hit. But by seeking amounts that max out the insurance policies at VW, Audi & Porshe it will motivate the insurance companies to shift the blame to the executives!
VW is blaming their former CEO for his inaction after the date they can prove he knew of the fraud to rig diesel engine emissions & MPG tests to deceive US regulators!
VW focuses only on the last 8 weeks they can prove he knew about it, hoping they can find the #receipts to show he knew long before he testified he knew about it. The paper does note the insurance companies can get off the hook for the cash if the execs get convicted.

For those who don't understand the law in this case, Congress has authorized the Attorney General to specially appoint lawyers & conduct legal proceedings at the same level as US Attorneys without confirmation. It's specifically authorized.
While Canon ignores Section 515, it specifically authorizes AGs to appoint special attorneys to prosecute criminal cases & run grand juries same as a US Attorney can.
She claims the law does not authorize the AG to appoint a special counsel with the authority of a US Attorney.
Julian Assange flying to the North Marianas to plead guilty to espionage.
Gets a 62 month prison sentence, but will be released with time served for his 5 years in British prison.
The choice of the Northern Marianas Islands is unusual.
That US territory is a hub for Chinese money laundering to the US & to US politicians. Wonder if he will testify to a US grand jury while he is there? Or has he already done so by Zoom?
The Chinese have been buying off Swampy politicians on Pacific islands that are US territories to infiltrate them to get into the US financial system.
The Northern Marianas, the Solomons, & many others...
Beny Steinmetz connects to so much corruption around the world!
Steinmetz was arrested 3 years ago shortlay after FBI seized Hunter & Rudy's electronic devices including communications with his lawyer former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
#ButNothingsHappening
On behalf of Steinmetz & other clients, Freeh tried to gain access to Trump & Biden through Guiliani & Hunter. Freeh marked all his emails as Attorney Client privileged in an effort to protect them. DOJ needed filter teams or a special master to read them.
Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
US sanctions Russian Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Beloglazov, the owner of the financial firm Titul for colluding with Putin's Oligarch Oleg Deripaska to sell his shares in an Austrian construction firm!
