A Russian man who filed a $15,000 lawsuit against Apple in which he claimed the phone coerced him into using gay cryptocurrency–thus making him gay–has withdrawn his suit.
The man in question, identified only as DE Razumilov, no longer wishes to continue the suit, citing pressure from cyberbullies according to reports. Both DE Razumilov and his attorney, Sapizhat Gusnieva, claim they endured harassment from fans of Apple as a result of the suit. An ongoing court case would have meant even more attention, as well as required courtroom attendance.

Razumilov had previously claimed that he had received a cryptocurrency known as “GayCoins” through his iPhone. Not long after, he began a relationship with another man and did not know how to explain his boyfriend to his parents. The nation of Russia has attracted international criticism for harassment of queer people and anti-gay laws.

I’m tempted to sue Apple for not putting a stop to these people with heavy Indian (is in the country) accents from calling here three or four times per day claiming they represent Apple and there is a problem with my MacBook (which I have never owned) and then calling me all sorts of names when I asked them whether or not they have hair in certain cracks of their bodies and if Clorox bleach helps keep certain things they wear stain free. Lord do they get upset when I ask that but its ok for them to call and claim to be Apple and nothing is done about it. If you call the number back on your caller ID it leads strait to a legitimate Apple store that has a recording on it saying they know about the fraud which leads to further confusion. I think Apple should be sued over that. Microsoft demanded India do something about those people and they disappeared. Apple needs to learn the hard way.

You know Vince, I got a call from a “group” claiming to be Macy’s last week. It said Macy’s in the caller ID so I picked up the phone. As you can guess the first thing I took note of was this woman’s heavy accent and rest assured her reasons for calling had nothing to do with Macy’s. It was a zero percent interest credit card offer. I kept her on the line for twenty plus minutes letting her strain her voice explaining why a group of banks decided to get together and pool their resources to make this offer and blah blah blah. I then told her I was a small business owner and had a $20k balance on my card that gets paid off every month. She then asked for the card number for verification and I gave her three digits off the top of my head and started asking more stupid questions. As it became obvious I was having my doubts the next thing I know a guy with an accent that made her sound like my kindergarten teacher in comparison came on the line. I kept him on for ten more minutes or so making him tell the same lies. I then asked for their website and so help me I thought I actually heard him gulp. I wasn’t suppose to ask that question. I then told him what he was saying the website was came up in the google search as a fraud/scam alert (I actually hadn’t even looked). He denied it on a stack of whatever bibles they use to keep their flocks in line with. I then asked him if the seat of the woman’s chair got wet when I told her I was a small business owner with a $20k line of credit and no balance and the next thing I knew he went into this tirade about me wearing cowboy boots, chewing tobacco and pickup trucks and had the NERVE to HANG UP so loudly he nearly broke my ear drum once I started laughing and saying “well, my mission was accomplished but I don’t think you can say the same.” lol As long as you keep them on the line they can’t sucker anyone else, can they?
