标 题: Samsung pays Apple $1 Billion sending 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins

PaperBlog – This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins
arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security
company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place,
but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO
explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled
against the South Korean company in this way.
The funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment
method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their
billion dollars in the way they deem best.
This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives
as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if
it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank
will accept all the coins.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his
company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style”
and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.
You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for
life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already
paid them and fulfilled the law.
A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week.
Let’s see how Apple will respond to this. |
