Ghosn was heard as a witness as he would need to be in France to be formally indicted.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":185723193,"gmtCreate":1623674473912,"gmtModify":1704208325401,"author":{"id":"3571888194017768","authorId":"3571888194017768","name":"Kristopoor","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3571888194017768","authorIdStr":"3571888194017768"},"htmlText":"Wah sneaky","listText":"Wah sneaky","text":"Wah sneaky","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185723193","repostId":2143789073,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":185474862,"gmtCreate":1623671059056,"gmtModify":1704208238604,"author":{"id":"3580508199898330","authorId":"3580508199898330","name":"ngc","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3580508199898330","authorIdStr":"3580508199898330"},"htmlText":"Oh","listText":"Oh","text":"Oh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185474862","repostId":2143789073,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":185505310,"gmtCreate":1623658179530,"gmtModify":1704207967894,"author":{"id":"3568580098685907","authorId":"3568580098685907","name":"2020TS","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/11248151fdcb83034da72e0a80b4d0ae","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3568580098685907","authorIdStr":"3568580098685907"},"htmlText":"Play out haha","listText":"Play out haha","text":"Play out haha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185505310","repostId":2143789073,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":185501906,"gmtCreate":1623657984205,"gmtModify":1704207961696,"author":{"id":"3569967413953406","authorId":"3569967413953406","name":"desjen","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4314e7f661d526ed72ecededb19043c2","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3569967413953406","authorIdStr":"3569967413953406"},"htmlText":"Hi pls like and comment thx!","listText":"Hi pls like and comment thx!","text":"Hi pls like and comment thx!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185501906","repostId":2143789073,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":185265102,"gmtCreate":1623654367606,"gmtModify":1704207902314,"author":{"id":"3549753214776437","authorId":"3549753214776437","name":"五指神獭","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bcfed8048a3809a7af76678043890a9","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3549753214776437","authorIdStr":"3549753214776437"},"htmlText":"Sounds like a Hollywood movie story","listText":"Sounds like a Hollywood movie story","text":"Sounds like a Hollywood movie story","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185265102","repostId":2143789073,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":16,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2143789073"}
