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.
