I'm curious: did the company that benefitted from the Denso theft 'give them back'? Or did they quietly continue using the tech? Sometimes I think the whole 'disgrace' game is just a scapegoat to allow moneyed interests to keep doing exactly as they please. But I'm cynical.

It was the company who was infiltrated who was disgraced, not the company (more like companies, Chinese tech espionage is state backed and whatever is collected is widely distributed) that benefited.
Why would they? American companies also don't give back:

Because of the 'disgrace' angle, of course. It was recognized as a disgraceful act by an engineer. I am wondering if that disgrace extends to the money folk who took it from that person, or the disgrace ends at the scapegoat. That's all.
No it was a disgrace for Denso to have allowed this to happen.
