He spent a million dollars to curry favor with the man who's going to control a lot of their interests for four years.

I think the shareholders would agree that its a good bet.

The shareholders who, as a whole, just lost $250B? You think?

Let's be honest, if Apple didn't pay that $1m then the shareholders would still have lost $250B. $1m is nothing in this.

Yeah scale. A million is like .001 billions. I would spend .001. Scale it down would you spend a tenth of a cent to possibly save $250? Yes.
