Always fascinating to hear Carlos speak. One of the most competent senior executives of our time. What is most shocking is how in Japan, a country I always thought respected human rights, that the notion you are innocent until proven guilty does not seem to apply. And a 99% conviction rate? He had no chance of a fair trial.

The sad part of being a foreigner working in japan is that japanese treat you as temporary. “We need you but we don’t want you.”

[@prhasn]

Excellent interview with a lot of important questions. I like how Carlos is helping others achieve good for the world with his experience and the internet is truly making it easy to do everything remotely, so I do not think this would impact him at all. Hopefully he wins the law suit too, well deserved compensation.

Forbes and the journalists covering this Ghosn issue have undertaken a worthy cause.

Carlos Ghosn, vous etes une personne admirable! A big BRAVO for your accomplishments! I wish you the bright and fun life you deserve! You are extraordinary! The planet needs people like you!

[@sngs9565]

This whole issue of arresting Carlos Ghosn is totally unneeded! It is a MESS! The key players that brought him down are just hypocrites! What is sad, his experience is now wasted since he is under Interpol red list. There are many carmaker would hire him immediately if he is able to travel.Hopefully, he will be back where he belongs!

[@healthyself7941]

Hope he wins! That will maybe crack open the closed, corrupt Japanese justice system that heavily favors the prosecutors.

[@GonzoJamie]

Carlos is an absolute LEGEND

[@JackSparrow-gn9be]

The Nissan executives pulled a real life Trading Places stunt on him. We'll see if he can turn it on them and win big in the end like in the movie.

[@gerardbosvonhohenfels1866]

I have always a good feeling about Carlos. I still remember how he made Renault and later Nissan a succes. A real good thinking businessman. As soon you have a succes in life they try to find something to hit you.

[@eddylegarrec8308]

What a brilliant human being! Good luck on that lawsuit

[@Carsaddiction]

Ghosn got back the GTR from dead, and car enthusiasts thank him for that.

[@mohamadhamad3655]

I like Carlos Ghosn. As for the charges against him, I am not in a position to judge the extent of their validity; However, I am sure that this person is a genius; And he performed clear services to the Japanese economy, in particular, after he raised a bankrupt company and turned it into profitability. This is not how he should have been treated and his freedom restricted like other criminals, as the accused is innocent until proven guilty.

[@TradeWithDae]

Thanks a lot for the great video, Great information provided here, I appreciate this 👍🏽 😃

[@josephdiab7312]

As usual you are a fascinating person Mr Ghosn. I hope you get compensation and justice from everyone who mistreated you…

[@hanschristianyu4740]

A very innovative man,, the best carlos,, i have followed this man for 20yrs.. great..nissan gtr best

[@reitsmaassociates]

Hope justice is done for Ghosn. What a turn around he bought in particular to Nissan. I own both a Nissan 350Z and Alpine A110 - both only exist because of Ghosn. Looks like he has much more to offer .

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

Ghosn is NOT guilty. I will never be able to make Nissan rich or be any possitice influence or carrier of their future prosperity. But from being an avid Nissan fan, after their clear malicious action against Ghost, I have gotten an extreme sour taste in my mind set towards them. And I know I am not the only one.

[@paulstuart525]

Looking forward to the outcome of this case. I believe its clear Nissan is brimming with guilt and underhanded methods. Its going to be a long series to watch and is only getting started now.

[@Rithoseoka8079]

Carlos now lives here in lebanon and lives with high security staff, he owns millions....
