LG Exec Indicted Over Broken Samsung Washing Machine

Posted by samzenpus on Monday February 16, 2015 @03:21AM from the breaking-the-law-and-machines dept.

itwbennett writes Jo Seong-jin, the head of LG's home appliance division, was indicted Sunday by prosecutors in Seoul for allegedly damaging Samsung Electronics' washing machines before the IFA electronics show in Berlin last September. The company says it was his regular practice to test the rival company's machines, something he has done while working for LG for the past 38 years, and has released closed-circuit television footage in his defense showing him testing Samsung products including washing machines, dish washers and refrigerators. Jo and two other employees are charged with vandalism, defamation and obstruction of business.

On the one hand, if your grandmother loses her balance and grabs the open door for support, you'll be thankful it does in fact support her weight.
On the other hand, YOUR grandmother might break the wing off a 747.
