You owe the Russian government $20 that's you're problem. You owe the Russian government $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 that's their problem.

Lmao
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.
N = { value of everything in the Earth's crust, including art, wildly inflated for tax purposes }
N^2 < [(this fine)/(the U.S. GDP)]
This number is so comically large it only makes sense in astrophysics.
Value is relative. My cat is worth way more than that.
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.
Doubling every week means an interest rate of almost 5 × 10^17^ %. That can barely offset the ruble's inflation.
Lol it's not an onion article!
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.
Google buys Russia
Oh this is even worse! Imagine if we transitioned to Nation Company states!? The United States of Apple...hey. We don't gotta change anything...USA! USA!
There’s a reason why all the cyberpunk stories are about corporatacracies and/or spacefaring feudalist states running human society in the future. Life imitates art.
Twenty decillion rubles, best we can do is $3.50
It's gonna be bout tree fiddy. Always tree fiddy! Gat dang lock-ness monsta!
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
Is that in USD or in rubles?
They've moved on from apple gift cards?
Can't Google just give them a box of Google Play Store cards and be done?
Since everyone is just giving you joke answers, it appears to be USD.
That's in Ruzzian Rubles, in the civilized world we refer to that as: two flat stones.
20 decillion is more than the GDP of the entire earth by many orders of magnitude.
Please learn to exponent. 20 • 10^^33^^ So much more clear
But not nearly as interesting seeing the big number. Also, who is that supposed to be clear to? The raised numbers are so small I can't even read them on my phone.
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.
"The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week. Owing to compound interest..."
...rubles
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.
Russian government is near collapse if this shit is true. What a fucking pathetic joke they all are over there.
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.
