Samsung surprises us with an action more typical of a troll than a publicly traded company that is a pioneer in its sector. After being sued by Apple and ordered to pay a 1 billion euro fine to Samsung, the company decided it would send 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins to the headquarters of  Apple in California.

Samsung was fined 800 million euros after it was determined that it had copied technology from Apple in some of its products, including its touch zoom technology; according to reports in the Washington Post, the company defends itself by stating that it considers this a loss for the consumer, that prices will suffer from inflation due to a lack of competition, and that the ruling differs from the one issued by a court in South Korea.
