In the paperback edition of "Faster, Higher, Farther" I reported how top Volkswagen engineers sought approval for emissions cheating software in 2007, and prepared a presentation on the topic for a meeting that included Martin Winterkorn, then the chief executive. Volkswagen denied that Winterkorn ever saw the presentation or knew about the fraud. Now the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit which backs up my reporting.
