Or are you suggesting that Apple is committing fraud and cooking the books like Enron.

Reality check: Apple largely sells physical products and has physical inventory, unlike Enron which was largely involved in derivatives commodity trading. What that means is that all you have to do is look around and see if Apple stores are crowded and moving merchandise and if you see more people with Apple products to check if Apple is making more money. About the only thing you can do is play with your AR, and that is largely legal.

The basis of this suit was that shareholders/investors were harmed. Considering that Apple share price has increased about 1000% in the past few years, due to great management, it's hard to argue they were harmed.

Please get a clue before you post.
