This is a bankruptcy judge, speculating on how hard the civil courts are going to hammer "old GM."
It's a slam dunk that plaintiff's lawyers are going to file punitive damages claims in the civil cases.
No doubt about it.
The “New” GM has tried it’s best to weasel themselves out of responsibility of bad acts by the “Old” GM but this was a bit too far for judge Gerber and thankfully so.
Some GM people should be prosecuted criminally for their actions on this cover-up in my view.
