Samsung Executives Waited Four Days Before Telling Chairman They Lost To Apple
The sunshine forced on these secretive Korean corporate thieves is really spotlighting weirdness.

FORTUNE -- The Korea Times, which earlier reported that Samsung executives were "reeling in shock" after its lopsided loss to Apple (AAPL) last week, followed up Wednesday with a description of the moment the news was formally delivered to the company's highest official.
Apparently Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung Electronics, wasn't briefed until Tuesday, four days after the verdict was returned. The job fell to vice chairman Choi Gee-sung, whom Lee had assigned to ride herd over the multibillion dollar patent dispute.
According to the Korea Times, quoting an unnamed Samsung executive, this was Lee's reaction: "The chairman calmed down and slightly closed his eyes after he was briefed. But he didn't say anything further."
What the chairman said before he calmed down is left to our imagination.
