    I’ll be honest: It wasn’t Fujitsu that was going around prosecuting people for faulty software. Fujitsu didn’t go around harassing people for money and threatening them to unjustly plead guilty. Fujitsu wasn’t the one that claimed they had a case against them when they didn’t. That was all on the Post Office. Making glitchy software isn’t illegal. The Post office knew their software had errors, although Fujitsu should have stepped in, their fault was inaction rather than action. But even then, people took their own lives over the Post Office’s actions, not Fujitsu’s.
