Was jailed today for 2.5years for grey-area maybe-crimes/activities which other major companies do (moving funds from subsidiaries to the parent company to increase stock values).
The prosecutor arrested him and use it's influence over the courts to pass a ridiculous judgement.
My broken understanding of it;
Horiemon has been trying to show the people that Japanese laws need to be changed but that major influences were preventing that to happen, technically he used the same loopholes that he was trying to show the public other companies were doing, but nothing was happening, so he took matters into his own hands.
