🧵1/5 Lawsuits and lawyers cost money, so we are going to do some fundraising. Who would like exclusive rights to the story behind the largest tax scam penalty issued in the history of Japan? Articles like this don't even scratch the surface of reality. 9to5mac.com/2022/12/26/app…

🧵2/5 “Bulk purchases of iPhones by foreign shoppers were discovered at some Apple stores, a source said,” Nikkei reports. “At least one transaction involved an individual buying hundreds of handsets at once, suggesting that the store missed taxing a possible reseller.” 🤣 Please

🧵3/5 My friends, this wasn't a one time thing, this was a nearly daily occurrence, that went on all day, every day, simultaneously in multiple stores for about four YEARS. This was so coordinated and organized, we had to learn new Japanese vocab to explain it.

🧵4/5 Managers, HR, Business compliance ALL knew that it was going on, they knew that what they were doing was illegal, and they did it anyway; dancing around plausible deniability with their pretty Lominger positioning skills.

🧵5/5 We have enough evidence to fill a book, and we will cut a deal with anyone that wants to publish it, so that we can fund our upcoming lawsuits against the company. DMs are open. Solidarity. #AppleTogether #1U

"Based on Japan's tax-free shopping policy, visitors who are staying for less than six months in the country can buy items such as souvenirs or everyday goods without having to pay the 10 percent consumption tax." 🤣 itechpost.com/articles/11574…

Apple management and staff knowingly sold Apple products TAX FREE to foreign nationals that were living in Japan. They did this daily. For at least four years.

"Making companies responsible for unpaid taxes that slip through the cracks is unfair to them. It also gives resellers more incentive to take advantage of the system." 🤣 There was no "slipping through the cracks". Apple was aware and complicit. newsbytesapp.com/news/business/…

"This suggests that the store missed taxing a possible reseller" 🤣"possible reseller" Apple KNEW that this GROUP of people that were buying HUNDREDS OF ITEMS A DAY TAX FREE were resellers. In order to normalize this, management called this group N.E.U.s newsbytesapp.com/news/business/…
