The last I heard Brazil is saying Twitter sent the fine payment to the wrong bank account so they won't restore access until it's sent to the right one.

They state that they "had to guess" what bank to send the $5.24M payment to

Which is the most obvious bullshit I've heard in quite a while, and that's saying something, because I'm an American that reads the news. If I did that at my company there would be physical violence over it. There are not words to describe how absolutely and totally ultrafucked any employee of a legitimate company who tried this would be. Since there hasn't been a murder in the X headquarters all signs point towards they did this on purpose and haven't paid anyone shit, they're just claiming to have paid it and when Brazil didn't have the money they claim to have paid, someone scrambled for an excuse.
