Where are the money they made in the US then?

.. in the US. Probably paid out in dividends and salaries.
Currently Apple pays around $12B a year in dividends. It has averaged over $10B a year the last 5 years or so.
It's expected if a repatriation bill passes, Apple will pay out a special one time dividend to shareholders, and some think it will be as big as $100B.

And invested by Blackburn or whatever the Nevada corp is...Google it.
It's called Braeburn, a type of apple.
So they have 246B + US hoard?
No, they have $246B minus around $80B in debt. Some of the $246B is overseas.
Yeah so it's not money made overseas which was the original claim I was asking about.
Apple have famously not paid out much dividend though.
Whoever down votes will you please explain exactly where I am wrong here?
Making a series false statements without references.
What series of false statements?
Look back at your statements.
Yes whats the long series of wrong statements? By all means please correct me.
Nobody wants to bother, since you can check them easily yourself with google. That's why you are being downvoted without explanation.
Whats up with the attitude?
Asking a genuine question is not reason for downvote.
You are asking other people to do work for you that you could easily do yourself.
Rather than letting obviously wrong statements stand unchallenged people just downvote them. There is no obligation to explain.
A question is a wrong statement? Nice try.
Your questions contained implicit statements just like this one:
Why can't you stop spreading falsehoods?
Either way - you asked why you were downvoted, and now you have an answer.
In other words you can't point to any series of false statements so instead you just make things up.
Got it thanks.

There you go. So even your claim that I'm making things up is false.
Intellectual honesty is a currency around here.
