This is the government equivalent of “you owe me a bajillion dollars!” An unserious fine from an unserious government.

2 undecillion rubles ($2.5 decillion USD)

I’m sure Google is taking that real seriously.

Someone played too much Adventure Capitalist.

They could pay with one of those comically large cardboard checks, then forget to sign it.

Or they’ll push it out a window.

Its from a fine that doubles every day. There’s no judge literally demanding google pay this amount of money. Makes a good headline, though.

FTA: “The company’s Russian subsidiary declared bankruptcy in 2022”. Its just been doubling the whole time.
