And, GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling, Saab, Saturn and
Hummer. Of course, the last three brands will be closed down or sold.

You might want to tell GM about the sales:

GM still owns Saab, although a deal to sell it is close.

And it still lists Hummer as one of its brands.

You are such a comedian. I never heard of a bankruptcy court owning
anything.

Technically, Saab, Saturn and Hummer are owned by Motors Liquidation
Co., the old GM.

The new GM also owns all or part of GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall,
AC Delco, GMAC, OnStar, Shanghai GM and Wuling. So GM owns more than
just Chevy, GMC, Caddy and Buick.

There is a huge difference between controlling a liquidation and owning
something.

The bankruptcy court doesn't have controlling interest. Or any interest.
Rather, it is the creditors of FMC.

If you want, I can send you a crying towel.

Actually, the name of the company is GM Holden Ltd.

And according to its own web page, its parent is GM.
