It was disgusting that they even tried to hide behind bankruptcy. People should be in jail.

But hell, If Goldman Sachs and HSBC can wash money for drug dealers, anything goes, I guess.

Please add the FBI, Hillary and Comey and probably Lynch to this.

Seems like in the position they are in, this would be another pass through to the taxpayer/funny-money basket GM is currently in.

We might better be asking why not sell this GM thing to the highest bidder or coalition of bidders (should they want it parted out), even at the cost of eating a loss and doing a taxpayer fund of the fix/compensation. It isn’t too big to fail, though it probably is not too bad to find itself reborn.

At least some part of Government Motors is subject to the law.

Yes, it is said that 124 people died from this.

GM tried to sweep the problem under the rug while more and more of their customers were dying on the road. And they are still trying to avoid responsibility for their screw ups.

On the other hand, VW didn’t kill a single person with their emissions cheat, and they didn’t try to avoid the consequences of their actions. It is costing them billions.

FUGM.

If I remember right, Toyota got fined $5 billion for a marginal alleged defect in the accelerator programming because they allegedly covered up the defect .... still waiting for the $10 billion fine for Government Motors carnage.

Exactly...This GM coverup on the ignition switch is much worse than the Toyota accelerator thing and GM basically got a slap on the wrist.

I hope 100’s of lawsuits screw over the union and destroy GM.

Not that I have any love for GM, but that would leave the US with one major auto manufacturer, Ford.
