Volkswagen To Pay $10.2 Billion In Emissions Lawsuit (bbc.co.uk)

Reader Khashishi writes: Slashdot has been following the story of Volkswagen manipulating diesel emissions tests for some time now. The control software contained algorithms which reduced emissions during testing but not during normal driving. Well, now Volkswagen has agreed to pay $10.2 billion (alternate source: BBC) to settle the case, according to Associated Press. This is higher than the $430 million damages estimated in this story. It appears that vehicle owners will have the choice of fixing their cars or selling them back. Most of the money will go towards fixing the cars, buying them back, and compensating owners.

When the Rothschilds' get their way with the farce hoax that is 'man made global warming'. Rothschilds' want all good companies out of business so they can single handedly run all business interests in the world.
