Ghosn is not the person you want to go to for business advice and I really have a a hard time understanding what goes on in the heads of people who think otherwise.
When he arrived, the exec parking lot changed from Toyotas and 5 year old Lexus to AMG Mercedes, M-Series BMWs, the white-label almost racecar Porsches, and I distinctly recall being told the company could "not afford" my request for a $1 to $2/hr raise.
People erroneously think that wealth is contagious (it's not!) so will do almost anything to court "big time players" regardless of their actions and ethics.
What Ghosn did was stealing from the company, so why you are bringing up someone else doing something entirely different.

This seems very underwhelming for expensive cars. The average SW dev in the US has no trouble affording an M-Series. These aren't high end luxury class.
