Wasn't the second ceo the one who might have been secretly dead for years but the family didn't declare it for inheritance tax reasons?

[@Phosfit]

Well, is someone going to answer this lad for everyone?

[@thekuan7002]

Yes. Thats the zombie ceo

[@saqii2930]

Do u mean the 3rd son? Well i can understand why they wouldnt have reported it or that might have been his own idea ( speculation)

[@_jko]

​@@Phosfit Yes. He was brain dead for a while and kept "alive" via tubes and whatnot in a vegetative state until the family could no longer ignore the issue

I heard from Janitor from corpo building when it was previosly rented by Samsung that people when downsized really were depressed about returning from Poland to South Korea - as they had normal house here, and in their homeland they were forced to their style of living with one room fit all - plus less discriminating culture

[@saeedhossain6099]

how is Samsung so readily successful you ask? collaboration with whatever military ruler is in place.

[@helmutzollner5496]

Wealth always creates dynasties, regardless how it is accumulated. Influence can be bought regardless of the underlying system. So, Samsung is just another one in the long line of such families. However, 20% of the Korean GDP is a lot. I remember when I came to Japan for the first time that I was really amazed to find not only excavators and TVs with the iconic brand, but petrol stations and supermarkets too! And heavy machinery, it looks like that was something any of the Vhaebol got into. Hyundai Heavy Industries also runs a VERY successful shipyard operation. I guess if you keep wages low with whatever means, you can be competitive. But they must be doing sth right, otherwise these companies would not be successful.

[@angloedu5499]

They have ties to organized crime namely the Japanese and Korean Yakuza as well as the CIA.

[@angloedu5499]

How and why do you think they were allowed to steal chip IP as well as Apples IP technologies without ending up like Toshiba or Sharp? Easy, the CIA under George Bush has an interest in seeing more plants being built by Samsung Chips in Texas.

To me, the most amazing thing about Samsung is how they keep making and selling garbage appliances.

[@J-c-d8f]

They sold dried fish?

[@NoRockinMansLand]

Yeah it was my idea actually

[@angloedu5499]

It was actually,,,,,,rice, flour, and sugar. The original conglomerate was Cheil Je dang or CJ Group. The Cheil Group founder was Lee Byung Chull. Samsung was a spin-off from the Confectionery division run by Lee Myung Hee and his wife Lady Son, the true CEO of the organization and scion and mother of the present CEO and Chairs of CJ Group.

[@angloedu5499]

Samsung has ties to organized crime syndicates from both the Japanese and Korean side and had backup by the CIA.

Just not gonna talk about what Lee and his people were doing leading up to the outbreak of war and the political actions they took, huh?
