In a move that has dumbfounded legal experts all over the world, Russia is suing Google for more money than is currently on earth.
Here’s the story…
Russia’s Giant Fines Against Google
A Russian court is ordering Google to restore Russian media accounts on YouTube that have previously been taken down. These media accounts in Russia were suspended so Google could comply with US sanctions.
Google’s failure to reintroduce the accounts has resulted in a fine that has doubled for years, with no cap to its total…
THE CUMULATIVE AMOUNT OF RUSSIA’S FINE AGAINST GOOGLE HAS NOW REACHED OVER $20 DECILLION.
…That’s a 20 followed by 33 zeros.
Keep in mind that the GDP of the entire world is $105 trillion… pennies when compared to the fine.
That number might seem daunting, but Google’s owner, Alphabet doesn’t believe the Russia fine has a leg to stand on. Regardless, the company has been having a difficult time abroad…
Google’s legal Russian arm filed for bankruptcy and authorities seized all assets.
The Kremlin believes, however, that the fine is symbolic and will send a message to the company, saying…
“THIS SHOULD BE A REASON FOR THE GOOGLE LEADERSHIP TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS AND IMPROVE THE SITUATION.”
While Google has definitely faced legal troubles across the pond, this fine is a wake-up call for the company.
Be Great,
