Olympus microscopes really are the best in the world. Even twenty year old instruments are highly sought after and command high prices on rhe secondary market because of their incredible craftsmanship. I have an old model that I paid.$4000 for four years ago and it is a wonderful tool.

A great expose. Thanks. Michael was brought in to take the blame for all that was rotten inside Olympus, but he wouldn't play ball (Japanese one) and asked too many questions. Obviously, I wouldn't be surprised that real Yakuza was on the board and had been siphoning off money from their corporate piggy bank. After all, who would allow Olympus to run factories and other manufacturing facilities there in Japan without some "Protection." Michael, well done. You turned out to be much better than Enron CEOs who were the real crooks. Bravo!

If he was found innocent - impossible because trials here are just to rubber stamp the police decision that one is guilty, or guilty ( as a default position because everyone before a jpn criminal court is found guilty, we would never know for sure, because it is Japan.

hace poco vi a un tiktoker extranjero que vive en japón que capto con su teléfono cosas turbias en los negocios de barras de snacks, karaokes y host en japón y medio hablo de ello y la yakuza fue a tirarle su puerta y golpearlo. Decidió no denunciar porque sabe que esa gente es la misma que la policía, como en todos lados. Japón esta casi tan mal como cualquier otro lado, solo que no se habla de ello ni se denuncia.

My biggest question, has Olympus completely eliminated the Yakuza from the company? Because those big men with tattoos trying to intimidate Woodford are still out there. What if Woodford ended up headless? That could've happened. The was more than a $1B missing. That's more than enough reason for the company to get rid of their whistleblower. It's currently happening with Boeing.

The Yakuza are still a shadowy presence in Japan, but have been fading for decades, as older members age out or die off and recruitment is way down. As to Olympus, I think the enormous public attention and upheaval would have flushed them out. - Light being the best disinfectant, etc, etc.

There was never any Yazuka. Olympus just invested poorly in the late 80s and 90s and then concealed those losses using an accounting practice called tobashi (explained in the video). During the 80s/90s, many Japanese corporations relied on investments to bolster dwindling exports that eroded by a strong yen. Shimoyama, former Olympus president admitted "When the main business is struggling, we need to earn through zaitech" (meaning financial engineering).

I have had very positive experience visiting and working with Japanese companies but early on learned that the business culture is very different. Several years ago a friend (American) was hired to join the Manhattan office of one of the largest Japanese trading companies in the world. Not long after, he decided to start learning Japanese at a local college. When management heard about it, he was told in no uncertain terms to drop the course.

Jan 2021 Olympus sold "divested" its camera company to JIP Japan Industrial Partners, which was renamed OMDS OM Digital Solutions. You can already see the new logo label on the camera 47:12 Interesting back in 2020 and 2021 it was very unclear why Olympus was dumping their camera company and never mentioned the financial scandal and company restructuring. Even this story fails to discuss this and pretends Olympus Camera is still a part of Olympus.

@@numbersix8919 Absolutely, Olympus (now OMDS) glass is absolutely first-rate. Their 12-100mm f/4 in particular is my favorite lens of all time, by any manufacturer. It’s a “vacation lens” that’s as sharp as many primes, and *very* well weather-sealed. (I also never owned one personally, but their 300mm f/4 was just an unbelievable optic, with outstanding image stabilization and weather sealing as well. My main camera is an E-M5 MkIII, with an original E-M1 as backup. I’d love to have an OM-1, but can’t afford it based on my retirement income and the limited amount of photography I do these days.)

Still have my Olympus camera and flash with its superior through the lens (TTL) control of exposure and the flash making it possible to do macro photography with the off the camera flash, [covered with a tissue], held close to the subject for accurate exposure, essential for taking slides, of a frog in a roadside drain at night. 😊 TTL also permitted multiple flash guns (connected with Olympus triple connections) and the addition of third party slave flash guns to light the background of a room for interior photography. The softening of light by using direct and bounced light turns night into day for interior photography. There is also the option to paint a background with a flash. For night photography the Olympus OM 2n is able to calculate the correct exposure up to two minutes. Never managed to obtain an Olympus with the automatic shutter release when the subject came into focus at the set distance, which I think was the OM 3 or 30. One of the great lenses is the 55mm f1.2 that gives great blurred background pics.😊

So the chairman hired him, paid him a good salary, a good title (which we’re meaningless) with maybe the hope he wouldn’t notice the financial Shenanigans…and perhaps make him the fall guy later?! Wow, cold blooded! That’s said, the chairman didn’t do enough research…dude couldn’t be bought by titles or money, which was the chairman’s biggest mistake…most people would be like, “well at least I’m getting paid”! Clearly, the chairman was wrong.

So the title went in castillian... secretos corporativos... thanks guys! Muchas gracias! Es agradable de vez en cuando ver un documental narrado en un ingles britanico con pronunciacion perfecta... con un titulo en castellano. For once is nice to see a nicely narrated documentary with clean british accent with a tittle in castllian.

Likes of Woodford, Ghosn, if you’re being asked to head a company as a foreign executive in Japan, be very careful. Your life is about to change, not in a very good way.

Yo tengo una cámara Olympus OM-D EM5 Mk3 y me encanta. Sin embargo se han atrasado mucho respecto al crecimiento tecnológico de las Mirrorless de otras marcas. Y ahora entiendo porqué sus nuevas cámaras ya no se llaman Olympus sino sólo OM, pues marca un claro después del escándalo.

This is still prevalent in Japan. Most of the companies are dying and they cook the books to stay relevant in the name of Japanese pride. If there is one thing you can’t trust at all in Japan, it’s data reports from the government or organizations. I always send the yearly report of our company to the trash.

The owner of a Japanese company, hiring a British?? The Japanese's arrogance made him choose an experienced businessman, or he simply hired him to blame him for the embezzlement in the company. Without a doubt he underestimated the Englishman, given the characteristics of the English, he took him from Olympus to the abyss!!! And the entire board of directors.

Todo lo que se dice al final respecto a la calidad de las cámaras es absolutamente una mentira. Las cámaras olympus son una tragedia. Constituyen la mejor manera de desperdiciar el dinero. No recomiendo a nadie comprar una cámara olympus. Quedó inutilizada antes de un mes de utilizarla y nadie respondió. Cara y mala.

y esto es real? porque siempre el río suena y no se puede creer en la ingenuidad de un alto directivo que entra en el corazón de una empresa sin enterarse como se cuecen las habas, hasta un pasquín externo y extranjero se daba cuenta y no un tipo con 30 años dentro de la empresa. Esto es una historia de Hadas al puro estilo inglés...Esto debe haber sido un secreto a gritos...
