payoff , prosecutors on the take , taxation evasion and slush funds . It sounds like organize crime , but if we ’re to conceive Kim Yong - chul , author of Think Samsung , all these direful things happen at pop electronics troupe Samsung . All the meter .
Trouble for Kim ( former top sound counsel , Samsung ) is Samsung is not only the largest electronics company by revenue in the cosmos , it ’s also one of the most — in the words of the New York Times — sacrosanct in South Korea . Untouchables , indeed .
This is a braggart part of the rationality why no real spiritualist outlet or web site has reviewed Think Samsung , and why the one issue that has “ reviewed ” the book decided not to bring up the book or the author by name .
In any consequence , the allegation put forth in the ledger are unbelievable ; the amount of money changing hand staggering :
Mr. Kim accuse [ Samsung chairwoman Lee Kun - hee ] and his loyal aides of having stolen as much as 10 trillion won , or $ 9 billion , from Samsung subsidiaries and lay away it in stock and bank accounts illegally opened in the epithet of executives .
The rule book say that they shred books , fabricated evidence and bribed politician , bureaucrat , prosecutors , justice and journalists , primarily to ensure that they would not stand in the way of Mr. Lee ’s illegal transfer of corporate control to his only Word , Lee Jae - yong , 41 .
Even without the medium ’s help , Kim ’s book has enjoyed restrained achiever in South Korea , thanks mostly to Twitter and other online outlet . The success has come at a cost however , as most of Kim ’s friends and acquaintances have middling much abandoned him . He spends most of metre these days organzing Samsung boycotts .
