Bad News Schmucks! Apple's in a Pickle

Alright folks Saul Goodman here your favorite attorney... and amateur financial guru! Let's talk about Apple. Seems like the fruit's gone a little rotten huh?

638 Billion Gone? Ouch!

Apparently some guy named Trump is slapping tariffs on everything coming out of China and other countries. And guess who's caught in the crossfire? Our precious Apple!

As I always say: Better Call Saul!

China Syndrome: Apple's Achilles Heel?

See Apple's got this little problem – they're kinda sorta REALLY dependent on China.

Apple refused to comment probably because they are cooking up some kind of scheme to avoid paying these new taxes and tariffs. As they say I'm not a criminal lawyer I'm a criminal lawyer. And when things get criminal that's when you need to call yours truly!
