Mike Papantonio: The Mindset Behind Corporate Misconduct

Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-07

[00:00:00]Most time when I'm taking a deposition, I'm dealing with a certifiable sociopath on the other side of the table. Now, they might be dressed up in an Armani suit, maybe they got their MBA from Harvard or Yale, they drive a Bentley, they have a Rolex watch, they don't look like sociopaths, they don't look like criminals, but they are. And in that criminality that they perpetuate, they somehow talk themselves into believing that what they do is acceptable. That it's acceptable to produce a product that they know is going to kill people.

[00:00:27]That it's acceptable to dump their toxins into an ecosystem that affects entire body of water, affects drinking water. It's acceptable because that's what a sociopath does. A sociopath talks themselves into normalcy, where it's anything but normal. So, I'd love to say, "Yeah, these are well-adjusted people that I'd go to war with every day." But most of them, if I'm honest, are sociopaths.
