Holy fricken hell, that's really sticking it to the man!!!!

Samsung had lost the lawsuit (battle) but they will win the war. This morning they sent 30 trucks full of 5 cent coins to pay the debt owed on the $1 Billion lawsuit. Woot!

In reality, this is a hoax and a damn funny one at that. Too bad. It would be funny to see the business world with a good sense of humor.

FAKE!
1) Some more fact-checkiing from Ken Tindell via Twitter: "A nickel weighs 5g. It would take 2,755 18-wheeler trucks (max legal tare 80,000 lbs) to carry the money."

2) Consider how much a billion dollars in nickels would weigh: you need 20bn of them, and at 5g each that's 0.005 kg x 20,000,000,000 = 100,000,000 kg = 100,000 tonnes.
