Samsung to pay hefty fine for misleading the US Government

[flibberdipper]

Even though other companies have this problem as well, Samsung is really having a hell of a bumpy year.

You're not even trying to refute anything I said? This is just boring now

 

If you read the lifehacker article I posted about their corruption, you can read some of the comments by someone who lives in Korea talking about how culturally the corruption is just kind of accepted. Samsung is undoubtedly far more corrupt than Apple, though.

hehehehehe,  Korea has a completely different culture to the western world.  places like china, Korea, Indonesia etc, have a cultural business practice that is accepted but not official.  It is not strictly speaking compatible with western business  culture, but we need to be careful that what we determine to be corrupt by our standards it can be insulting to theirs.  There is a lot I could say but it would require a wall of otherwise boring text.  I will just say, corrupt is in the eye of the beholder.

Exactly my point.

 

I was just trying to debunk your false equivalency of the pseudo-corruption you pointed out at Apple. Which, by the way, I'd absolutely love your opinion on the articles I posted against your point if not in a post then perhaps in a PM because I think there's actually some pretty solid evidence behind me right now.

Didn't the NSA which is part of the Government mislead Congress which is another part of the Government, so Samsung is just towing the Government line as I see it. NSA got scolded hard on the media, I expect the same punishment to Samsung.

"whistleblower, Robert Simmons, who is a former Samsung employee, and he is entitled to receive a portion of the settlement, but the amount has not yet been decided." 

HALF. Take half the fine.

Woah, for a second there I thought it said US government to pay hefty fine for misleading its people.
