That is a pretty deep cut, especially for a company which is profitable and has a warchest of several tens of billions last time I checked. (Full disclosure: shareholder.)

Do we have any evidence that this is, you know, true? Because if not, the rumor that I have $7 million worth of 10,000 yen notes stashed in my carry on luggage is also a fact. Please, let it be a fact.

The name of the website itself doesn't exactly inspire confidence in its accuracy.

Well, 7 million USD would be over 60,000 notes... so unless your carry-on weighs over a hundred pounds, it's probably not true.
