There’s a difference between commanding tens of millions per on the open market and doing illegal things because you want to get around some limits. As I understand it Nissan paid him a handsome amount, he agreed to it, but apparently not enough so he set up subsidiaries in Europe and used those to buy personal properties. In the end he allegedly was reporting only half of the income he earned-only the above board income.

It’s an altogether different discussion whether someone should be remunerated so generously.
