    That's... More than all of the value of everything on earth, combined.

    By a lot.

    They were smart and accounted for 6 months or so of Russian inflation as their currency collapses.

    For those wondering how the hell the number got so stupidly large, starting somewhere in 2022:

    The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

    By week 20 Google was already "owing" over 1 billion dollars and over 1 trillion by week 30. So expect the funny number to keep growing just because.

    In any case, I don't think Google will come back to Russia anytime soon. Probably nothing to be gained there anyway.

    How do you do this as a country and think anyone will respect anything you threaten again?

    To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow.

    Seems a bit suspect.

    considering the track record they should start putting "courts" in quotes when discussing Russia.

    They should start a payment plan. $5 per day.

    The current amount would be paid off by Saturday, April 11, 10951628027954030802047011389440

    I might expect this kind of pissantry from North Korea, but Russia?

    You'd think Mr. Google would just have a little accident out an 8th floor window.

    Imagine Google just goes completely rampage mode and buys a fuck ton of drones and these Robot-Dogs with guns attached and lays fucking waste to Russia. This would be such an Deus ex machina to end this war.

    Lol, such weak minded pussies, let me explain. For reference, that number is very roughly half of all atoms on earth. If you had that kind of money in cash, it would be larger than earth, it would be heavier than the sun and fucking obliterate our solar system. It's absolute lunacy, so they could have gone further and got more out of it. Like asking for a googol dollars (a 1 with a hundred zeros), not only is it actually funny (a play on Google's name), but that would finally be enough to nuke the entire observable universe. But no, turns out fascists aren't creative and their statements are just the result of rabies.
