I know that's how it was. But I lost track of what happened when Trust had to restructure because of bankruptcy protection in Japan. Things got weird for a bit and Greddy on this side was sort of independant.

Or something.

Ok did some googling:

Greddy is a sub-brand of Trust in Japan (like GRacer and GREX), but they couldn't use Trust in the US because if other trademarks. So in America Trust operates their whole operation as 'GReddy'. In 2008 Trust Japan filed for bank protection, but GReddy on this side managed to keep operating mostly normally until Trust sorted stuff out at home.
