> It's weird and misleading to describe money he never received and will never receive as "undisclosed compensation".
That's literally just basic accounting. If you are required to report all compensation someone earns and they get $100k salary, $100k bonus, and you put $800k into a retirement account with their name on it - you can't say they only made $200k last year. They only reason he will never receive this undisclosed compensation is because the plot and the blatant illegality was discovered.
And lol, of course his is using the pilfered funds to setup his son in Silicon Valley where he worked for Joe Lonsdale.

And yet the vast majority of large Japanese corporations do exactly that, and the Japanese court acquitted him on that exact fact pattern for all but one of the years they examined.
You keep referring to a court case but I think you’re talking about Kelly’s? Ghosn has never had a trial in Japan, so he hasn’t been acquitted (or convicted) of anything. Even if the pension deceit was somehow above board, there’s still the inconvenient 140ft yacht unknowingly paid for with Nissan funds and registered to Ghosn’s son’s shell company parked in a bay near Beirut that multiple different courts have found was illegally obtained..
