Samsung pays Apple's suit against them in 20 billion nickles * 3
    #16802075 -

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021288934



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. <- :curbyourenthusiasm:

A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week.

That's awesome. In Canada that would not fly, coins are only legal tender up to a certain low amount and beyond that you can be sued for non-payment of a debt if the person you owe it to does not agree to receiving it in coins. Interestingly the metal in a US nickel is worth roughly its face value and sometimes more depending on metals prices (right now it's a little less), not something you can say about many coin denominations being currently produced for circulation anywhere. US nickels are popular popular with certain survivalist wackos and other metals nuts for that reason, and some will pay a little more than face value for bulk amounts.

Lol I wish it was true. 20 billion nickels would take more like 1000 trucks though
