X, formerly known as Twitter, has yet to be restored in Brazil because the company sent its $5.24 million fine to the wrong financial institution. Brazil's Supreme Court made the revelation on Friday and will delay its decision on whether to restore X in the country. The beleaguered social media platform was shuttered in the
The xitter lawyers claim that there was no bank account indicated anywhere so they “had to guess” and are demanding xitter to be unlock as they paid the fine.
In other words, either they’re grossly incompetent and can’t read, or they’re playing malicious by trying to abuse some loophole or anything to ultimately not pay the fine
Or they could ask 🤷♂️
Or they could keep reading the notice(s) and check out all the clearly stated details on who, where and how to send the fine payment
Yup. Or Musk never expected to pay the fine, so his lawyers never bothered to research the bank where he owed the money.
I hope the government didn’t let Musk leave the country until his fine was settled.
Yeah but here’s the thing, the details for payment of such things is always clearly disclosed on whichever notice they’ve received, and probably this was sent multiple times. Also the lawyers appointed by xitter are Brazilian, in a Brazilian firm, so they are familiar with how this works and the system is not dubious or misleading or confusing at all.
Like I’ve said, they’re either grossly incompetent to a point that they can’t read anything, or they’re trying their “best” to avoid paying the fine but their best is comically pathetic at most.
Guess when you’re sending 5 million? Yeah right.

Source for what, the lawyers claiming the payment detail wasn’t specified?

I can’t provide you any source on how the fine notices of this nature look like since I have never commited anything to amount a hefty fine like this, but every single official document, bill, notice or whatever you may call it in which requires someone to pay something to the government, you will find extensive details on the account numbers and where to pay. They are not forgetting or not including this information.
Like I have said before and will say it again, the Brazilian law firm Xitter has hired is either comprised of the freshest graduated lawyers that never worked with something like this, or they can’t read, or they’re intentionally playing malicious to avoid paying the fine and causing as much instability as they can on behalf of Musk.
