Forums - Gaming - Samsung Pays Apple $1 Billion Sending 30 Trucks Full of 5 Cents Coins

A bit immature but totally awsome.

Not true. You would need many, many more trucks to carry that much money.

This is some internet joke that made it to the news somehow.

"A nickel weighs 5g. It would take 2,755 18-wheeler trucks (max legal tare 80,000 lbs) to carry the money."

If anyone believes this happened, you're crazy. lol

It would have cost Samsung far too much to pull off a stunt like this. Additionally, Samsung is prepping an appeals court push due to many of the supposed patents being reviewed by the patent office to determine if they should be tossed out completely.

Simply put, it will be prolonged long enough for Samsung to naturally allow the products to die in the marketplace and be replaced by devices that don't touch any of the patents like the Galaxy S3.



Reality is boring so I'm gonna continue to believe that this is real.



Yup, fake story. But it would be really hilarious if true. hahaha



they can still pay in 1$ and 2$ coins...

would be a nice trolling.



So wish this was true.
