No, not at all. Japan has some of the most egalitarian CEO pay in developed countries.

Ghosn exploited his position and muddied waters. He paid himself 3 CEO salaries and yet continuously claimed to be under paid.

To claim Nissan, an entity Ghosn controlled, was somehow equally as guilty is what-about-ism.

You seem to basically be saying that we should consider Ghosn to be guilty of crimes because he was an outsider whose attitude wasn't sufficiently Japanese. To me this seems to reinforce his position, rather than yours.

I said nothing of the sort, please do not troll on hacker news.

It certainly wasn't what-about-ism, rather that I suspect the prosecution is politically and/or commercially motivated.
