Virgil :

finally some consumer laws put into action

kimball :

if this works we might see an end to RAMageddon

sleep_deprivation :

I just want 16gb at $175 😂

DavidGarciaSMD :

They already lost that lawsuit once, years ago. They'll lose this one, pay the fines with a fraction of the money they've already made, and just keep doing it.

user8337154696563 :

It’s not even their first time doing this 🤦🏻‍♂️

Isn’t this the second time Samsung was caught price fixing tech hardware?

2inchwonder :

I see it's 2018 again. they keep doing this and people are shocked.

Kevin :

The fine won’t even put a dent on actual profits from the price fixing. They’ll give 1 mill to Trump coin and this all goes away.

The_Trulove :
