I am a big fan of memes and troll
stories and faces online, 9gag and Uberhumor are two of my favorite websites
when it comes to this. I love reading and seeing funny and epic stories with
extra ordinary creatures on the pictures (memes). But the biggest troll I ever
knew was that Samsung paid apple its $1billion fine by sending more than 30 trucks
of coins to Apple’s headquarters, I just knew the story this morning and at
first I thought it was really true, and it is totally hilarious. The story that
scattered around the internet like wildfire goes like this:
“Yesterday, there are more than
30 trucks carrying five cent nickel coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in
California. The company security was freaking out then Samsung called Apple CEO
Tim Cook saying that they will pay the $1.05 billion fine in coins, and this
was the first installment.”
LOL………
Some
people comment that the story is somewhat true, and that is Tim Cook is indeed
the Apple CEO: P
This troll story is regarding the
lawsuit a while ago that was filed by Apple against Samsung, that the Korean
Company critically copied the iPhone and iPad features. Apple won the case, and
was awarded more than $1billion damage.
But the truck of coins story is
merely a hoax, it is not true that Samsung paid Apple by sending trucks of
coins to their headquarter, the fact is Samsung isn’t yet payable, all they
have is the jury’s verdict and the judge hasn’t ruled yet.
If Samsung tried to pay the fine
in coins, Apple has the right to send out the truck and head it back to
Samsung, since it is stated in the US
Treasury that:
"Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy."
If you have doubts whether the story is true, just stick to this fact:
"A nickel weighs 5g. It would take 2,755 18-wheeler trucks (max legal tare 80,000 lbs) to carry the money."
