Acer reportedly sent Russia $70M in PC gear after saying it paused business there

Per a report by Reuters on Thursday, Acer said it sold monitors in Russia after publicly declaring that it would suspend business there due to the Russia-Ukraine war. In Reuters' report, Acer claimed it only sold a "limited number of displays and accessories" for "civilian daily use." Additionally, Reuters reported that Acer sold laptops in Russia after saying it wouldn't.

derek,

Surprise, surprise, you can still buy Acer peripherals in Russia in every shop. Not only Acer, but any other pre-war brand supplying Russian citizens with PC parts, phones, laptops, etc.

Echolot,

Disgusting behaviour... If you don't want to loose money on a moral basis, fine. But don't lie about being benevolent.

I mean, honestly. Corporations have lied through their teeth since forever if that meant they could make a quick buck. The language they understand best is money, nothing else works as good.
