An excerpt from BOUNDLESS Carlos Ghosn
contemplated the box in front of him. Freedom. It
was a large black wooden crate with steel
reinforcements on the edges, the sort of case a
band would use to transport large speakers or
instruments. Ghosn was listening to instructions
from Michael Taylor, the former Green Beret he
had hired to help maneuver the getaway. Taylor
was explaining, step by step, what the auto titan
would need to do Climb into the crate, and stay
still. Let the lid be lowered. Once secured, the
trunkand hewould be in motion. Inside his box,
he would be loaded onto a private jet with the
rest of the luggage. Ghosn was well versed in
the private-jet lifestyle. He had flown
everywhere on his Gulfstream as chief executive
of two carmakers, Renault and Nissan. He was
accustomed to flying high above the clouds,
lounging on a plush leather seat. This would be a
new experience. If all went well, Carlos Ghosn
could be having brunch in his sprawling
vineyard in Lebanon by the following
morningspirited away by Taylor, freed from the
clutches of Japanese justice, thousands of miles
away from the financial crimes of which he had
been accused. Though the box offered the
potential of freedom, it also represented abject
desperation. If anything went wrong, he was
guaranteed to end up on the front pages of every
newspaper in the world, a laughingstock. Worse
than his humiliation would be his inevitable
destination straight to jail, again, but this
time with no chance at bail. Still, staying and
arguing his way through the morass of the
Japanese courts seemed a far more devastating
fate. He had been locked away in their system for
more than a hundred days, enduring daily
interrogations by prosecutors during which he was
not allowed a lawyer. He was facing serious
criminal charges, having been accused of
orchestrating a complex flow of money between
Nissan, the Middle East, and his own pocket.
Beyond the criminal charges, his carefully honed
image had been ripped to shreds as Nissan and
Tokyo prosecutors had
4
steadily leaked damaging bits of information,
ensuring that Ghosn-as-villain had been
front- page fodder for months. He was facing a
lengthy legal battle, and he wasnt sure hed
live long enough to survive the ordeal. Even if
he funneled all his resources and contacts into
his day in court, he knew that in Japan
prosecutors won over 99 percent of trials.
Escape, even if it meant living as a fugitive for
the rest of his life, was preferable.
