      People joke about companies being too big to fail, but Samsung is the largest of a group of conglomerates that basically run South Korea. They know there’s no way the government will allow them to collapse since they would take the Korean economy down with them. Why not take the most profitable route when there’s no risk (to them, which is all they care about)?
