How is this different from Volkswagen? They inflated a metric by 600+% according to the legal documents on the article, for 2+ years. And kept all the revenue from the 'mistake' while crushing competitors that lost business for those two years.
Some differences are that VW plead guilty and paid a 2.8B $ fine, the CEO resigned, executives have been facing criminal charges, and a slew of international cases are still outstanding. Another difference is that VW’s deceit had direct human health consequences.
