Apple Subsidiary Fined Over $500,000 for Breaching Russian Sanctions

You left an option out: Give the bad actor a custom-designed glass plaque with a 24-karat gold base

Apple is a nation state now?

And here I thought corporations only had basic human rights - silly me!

Sanctions are evil and unjust and do nothing but make the average person suffer.

95% of the Russian people voted for their president and are fine with all the killing and the war. I got zero sympathy for them.

Maybe because if they don’t vote for him, he would have his goons kill them off.

Same boat the people of Iran are in.

That 5% are probably some super remote tribe that doesn’t even know what electricity is.

Huh! So the Apple subsidiary, makes a payment to a recently sanctioned company, realize they messed up and reports themselves and the fine is like ~50% of the amount they sent.

I know there needs to be some sort of punishment for the mistake, but a 50% fine?

Wall Street and Big banks have done way more harm to the lives of people because of greed and they get a slap on the wrist.

Politically incorrect mistakes are expensive 😀

Yes they are.

I wonder if the UK banks who handled the money are getting fined as well?
