Lee Jae Yong being sentenced to 2.5 years will be affecting South Korea's economy a lot and the supreme court shouldn't have done that because some threatening Lee from the Presidential office to pay them and how is he gonna reject that??

    I am waiting for Note 21 Ultra 5G!!

      george, 18 Jan 2021he will serve it on a private island. maybe go to prison 1h... moreNah last time he was in jail he served his time. He got out, paid or made jobs or did whatever the Korean president and their administration "nudged" him to do, and put him back in the slammer again because this Korean government is super far left.

                    What did Samsung do? They just followed the trends of market, with little of their own innovation. And with their strong marketing, they made a presence, that's it.

                    in the end, everything happening is understandable..

                      I don't think Yong's imprisonment will affect the way things run at Samsung. Officials get the vision and work on it life professionals, but yes, they're likely to go wrong more now... but normal working shouldn't be affected, its just a 'risk' and not a complete doom.

                      Although, its definitely a sad thing to happen for the Korean giant... If they bribe president's office, can we conclusively say they didn't bribe journalists?

                          Samsung has always engaged in sleazy practices. It has just never been hip to hate on them like it is to hate Apple.

                          Huawei is worse than both of them combined.
