To salvage the argument, it's quite possible this would have been different if they were from GM rather than VW.

It most likely would‘ve. Just look how quickly US courts started to turn Monsanto into shreds the very second Bayer bought it. They‘re after that so called stupid German money. Wouldn‘t work if it was American money.

I am surprised VW clowns got the prison tbh but i am sure there is a reason why it actually happened here.

System fucked up lol

I dunno, VW is about as American as GM.
