      Considering they pay employees to eat vital documents so that they cant be used as evidence, I wouldn't be surprised.

                          So,let me get this straight,Samsung paid people less than 5 dollars to attend their event? Those must be pretty desperate people..

                            I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true.

                              Hey it's a great news apple premium iPhone owners are hired by Samsung....ohh may b sometime Samsung will hire the entire Apple industry!

                                Nasser, 05 Apr 2015Who cares? since the phone is successful and the company is... moreNo prob, since they pay for positive reviews, pay trolls to bash competition, pay false reviews for competitive devices...
                                Caught and fined before court of law many times already....
                                But if one sees no oroblem in that...then its good

                                  Why do they even pay?? Advertise and send mass emails on how to attend, many including me will be there to see the event instead of watching it on youtube live (as I did)... :(

                                    S6 is bad design. Many don't like it. It will be failure.

                                      Should have just brought its staff to fill in half the audience seats spread around the theatre, just like Apple do. They're the ones who are clapping and whooping hysterically at every announcement, whilst his/her neighbours have a neutral expression.

                                        Not the 1st time. Remember couple of years ago how Samsung paid people to give bad review for HTC phone and ultimately fined $340000. And how they paid cnet to repost review of Galaxy S4.
