Very very interested <| sep |> You might like Kill la Kill <| sep |> sent you a request <| sep |> No . What you ' re missing like , frankly , a lot of people miss is that VW , like many EU companies , has no fucking clue how serious the U . S . government takes shit . When the DOJ is mad at a U . S . company , the U . S . company rolls over , shows its belly , and pleas for mercy . Hell , the U . S . company usually basically bankrolls the investigation for the DOJ . They disclose everything . This is called cooperating . When the DOJ is mad at a European company , the European company denies , deflects , hides documents , refuses to let its executives be interviewed , pretends that U . S . law doesn ' t apply to it though it clearly does , etc . EU companies are basically arrogant and sometimes just ignorant , don ' t take compliance with U . S . law seriously , and then pay for it when they ' re caught in wrongdoing . I ' m not sure what the regulatory culture is in the EU itself and whether they ' re allowed to get away with shit , but I suspect that it is . The U . S . and U . K . are the only countries in the world that seem to actually enforce their laws prohibiting bribing foreign officials . Source Lawyer who defends US and EU companies under U . S . federal investigation . I ' ve watched my boss have to give the come to Jesus talk to several clients .
