What? Darringer, you are nuts, then Chairman Piech said publicly that he had distanced himself from the shyster long before the extent of the VW, Audi, Porsche, Skoda diesel products were determined to be spewing up to 1000% more polution than allowed. It cost Piech the Chairman's position in the company for saying so because his Porsche cousins were terrified that the entire scam would topple the company and them with it... he is a bad guy and there are many more that were in on the scam, helping him cheat because they thought they could.
