$49.9 billion? Jeez that's a bit steep.

That's in NTD....not US.

hmm, I think we have an interresting story happening on here... let's stay tuned

next story is going read "Ching-yi found dead after Foxconn motherboards fell on her"

Ahh hell, didn't see the NT

Does Terry Gou live in the USA?

The IRS is the US government agency... Lets see them get Terry if he isn't American.

Terry Tai-Ming Gou, sometimes written as Terry Guo, (traditional Chinese: 郭台銘; pinyin: Guō Táimíng) (born October 8, 1950) is a Taiwanese tycoon who leads Hon Hai Precision, a company that manufactures electronics on contract for other companies.

He isn't American... IRS can't do shit.

That's about $1.5B USD. Hmmm... I guess Steve Jobs hasn't trained his sith apprentice well enough.

Please, research this before you make asinine comments like this one. Talking with your ass does not make you intelligent.

Well...
He is not a USA resident nor a US citizen... The company he heads up is located in Tu-Cheng, Taiwan. Why exactly would he owe the IRS (USA) anything? He certainly wouldn’t pay American taxes.

In Taiwan it seems they have a “National Tax Administration” which is NOT called IRS… in fact there is no IRS in Taiwan.

Here in Canada we have the Canada Revenue Agency, the equivalent to the USA’s IRS… It is not the same.

Since I am talkin out my ass, provide me a link to the Taiwan IRS. At least back up your replies with some evidence.

Boycott Foxconn

just more reasons to boycott the suspicious company...

Hon Hai Precision Mtd. is actually one of the largest corporations in the world. Their revenue alone is almost on the scale of Dell, and employ more than FMC does. They are practically numero uno of electronic OEM, and the second is not even one third of their scale. It's good to know that finally there is a Taiwan-based company became so big that it becomes loathful.




Almost all prominent Taiwanese business people have green card, or are citizens of the US. They employ certain number of US citizens in CONTUS, so why not get a investment immigration status? Some already fled to the US after being prosecuted for corruption in Taiwan.

Let's not get ourselves away from the topic. This guy owes a LOT of money. But he might out of this unharmed. Considering he's CEO, he might what it takes to pay that debt and maybe more.

haha! If that happens to some John Doe on this side, you'll be quite screwed. Your options will be: sell your soul, sell your ass.

Tax evasion, you mean like half of the new DC socialist regime in power right now.

Boycott, are you nuts? You like that "eVGA" video card? That "Intel" motherboard? That "Apple" iPhone? All Foxconn made. Just who are you going to boycott?

double the fun!

@raabscuttle

Actually I happen to use none of those things. Not that I'm purposely boycotting Foxconn or anything, I just prefer Sapphire or MSI for graphics cards, AMD motherboards and nothing Apple.

@Ronen

Yup, Foxconn makes plenty of AMD motherboards also. Sapphire is PC Partner (a large Hong Kong conglomerate). MSI is well, MSI. They may not be made by Foxconn, but I can bet that they use Foxconn components (such as I/O connectors). Hong Kong, Taiwan and China are just one big happy (though sometimes dysfunctional) family (sort of like HP, Apple and Dell all using the same laptop manufacturers and components)...
