    There needs to be more than just financial compensation. Whoever it was from Fujitsu that committed purjury needs to be in prison for causing so many lives to be ruined.

    Mildly surprised they didn’t just deny it. Good on them for at least recognizing their role and duty for recompense.

      Don’t give them any credit. Companies will only ever admit wrongdoing if their hands are forced, and even then, “it’s the cost of doing business”. It’s like American companies who say “oh yes, people should unionise!”, whilst smiting their own workers who attempt it.

      Even if they are forced to do compensate everyone who was affected, the cost will pail in comparison to the amount of money lining the pockets of the twats who benefitted from the suffering.

    Fujitsu is an embarrassment in Japan too. Their software literally crashed the Tokyo Stock Market for an entire day. They fucked up Japan’s long needed shift to a National ID number to collate government services under one umbrella. Everyone in Japan questions how they got so many domestic and foreign government contracts.

    Spoiler alert: it’s cronyism. The Japanese government has kept this company propped up with government contracts and subsidies for way too long.
