Samsung pays Apple $1 billion with coins

[Jam Street]

War of the Titans

This morning more than 30 trucks filled up with coins of 5 cents arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California.

Initially, the security company that protects the facility said it was diverted to 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 signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send to the creators of the iPhone its billion dollars as they deem best.

This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives in that they need to apply for counting all that money, check if it is complete and try to deposit it and hope a bank will accept to receive that.

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, deliver hope to finish this week.

Gangsta South Korean style.

But of course this is a hoax. However, Samsung are now aware of this story circulating around and think it is a good idea which they are seriously considering of implementing it.

On the other hand apple are doing all they can to get a court ruling which specifies a method of payment doesn't involve trolling Korean Style.
