doesn't seem confusing. Apple was engaged in some shady business dealings and this guy was the sacrificial lamb. They waited to sentence him to see if he would go public and expose all the bullshit apple does. Probably alot of the things that go on in their china factories that was causing all those employees to kill themselves. maybe apple sacrifces a baby for a soul to put in its phone since the organization does not have one. That to mee seems most likely and not only plausible, but the only kind of "cooperation" he could be offering. They really don't want people to know what they do with their company. Unfortunately, I believe if it ever comes to light, the organization will be disbanded and shut down. that's how serious i believe their transgressions are. I haven't even begin to inquire as to the techniques for extraction of the rare earth metals that are so necessary in the iphone.
