  During this morning I told you that employees Samsung they ate legal documents that were supposed to end up in the process that Apple he had submitted it to the Koreans in 2010, and now I am coming with some additional details about the tactics Samsung to evade the law. It seems that only a few years ago those from Samsung would have tried to bribe a Korean parliamentarian with a golf bag that was full of money, the amount having the role of "motivating" the person to support legislation favorable to the company.

The Vanity Fair article goes into many other past shady Samsung capers, including one Korean lawmaker who claims the company tried to bribe her with a "a golf bag stuffed with cash" and one former presidential aide who returned a $5,400 cash "gift" that Samsung had sent him out of the blue.

  Apart from this feat, Samsung sent a representative of the South Korean presidential administration $5400 in cash to do them a favor, and he returned the money after a brief announcement to the press. If we add to all this the fact that the president of Samsung was convicted twice by the Korean courts and was pardoned twice by the presidents of the country, then you can get a pretty good idea about the tradition of the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world.
