    This is a great development.

    But I worry of a future report:

    Unfortunately, In 2026 Samsung South Korea is projected to make a significant operating loss due to paying Smaugsun, a newly minted company in Liechtenstein, royalties equal to the revenue from selling the phones. No bonus for you.

    Hopefully South Korean laws don’t let maneuvering like that fly.

      Exactly, they’ll just move money from subsidiaries into other entities and use creative accounting to reduce the payouts. Or in the US just sticking every penny into stock buybacks.

    sharing profit with people that actually produce the products you sell

    opening Pandora’s box

    Uh huh, if you say so.
