Never understood why he took a chance on entering the US with an indictment over him. Seems harsh though.

This is way too harsh.

Maybe he was looking for a way to extend his vacation? Now he'll be enjoying an all-inclusive stay for 7 years!

He will probably get out in 18 months

Meanwhile... how many GM executives and engineers went to jail over actually killing people with the faulty ignition key system? Answer: ZERO.

Then trying to cover it up... How about those few people that were serving sentences for dangerous driving causing death because the car turned off, causing a crash... How about diesel gate breaking a few days after GM had to pay out those fines?

How many people did diesegate kill? 0 How many people lives were actually ruined by dieselgate? 0

Schmidt was a patsy, simple as that.
