Michael Ramacciotti, one of the co-defendants in Apple's lawsuit against Jon Prosser and himself, has admitted to receiving a payment from Prosser. According to his recent court filing, Ramacciotti was offered $650 by Prosser after showing him features of an unreleased iOS version over FaceTime. However, Ramacciotti denies that he planned or participated in any conspiracy with Prosser.
Ramacciotti's statement reveals that Prosser initially asked him to show certain iOS features during the FaceTime call, and Ramacciotti claims he did not track the location of Ethan Lipnik, a former Apple employee whose development iPhone was accessed by Ramacciotti. The lawyer admits that several weeks prior to the FaceTime call, Lipnik had "swiped through" new iOS features on his device.
The lawyers in the case claim that Prosser offered Ramacciotti $650 at some point after the FaceTime call and that he did not initiate communications with Prosser based on any promise of payment. Ramacciotti states that he was not expecting to receive payment from Prosser, but he also claims that he didn't know Prosser was taking a video of their communication.
Despite this, Ramacciotti denies having any Apple trade secrets and does not possess any additional recordings or forms of confidential information. The case remains ongoing, with Prosser facing a default judgment due to his failure to respond to the lawsuit.

so like i know ramacciotti is trying to say he didn't plan anything with prosser but idk man it seems kinda fishy to me that he got paid $650 by him after showing off some unreleased features 
and like what even is the deal with prosser taking a video of their face time calls? was he trying to blackmail ramacciotti or something? 
i feel bad for lipnik tho, getting his dev phone swiped through new ios features all over the place 
and im just wondering if there are any other apple insiders who might be hiding some shady secrets 
Either way, this whole thing just got a lot more complicated. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out 
.
. Like, we know the lawyers are trying to spin this as some kind of conspiracy, but Ramacciotti's all "nope, I just showed him some cool stuff and he offered me cash" 
. And did you know that the average salary for an iOS developer is around $124k per year? 
Maybe Prosser thought Ramacciotti would be willing to spill some beans for a pretty penny 
!
this whole thing is wild
. It's all so juicy drama 
! The lawyers are trying to say Prosser offered him money after the FaceTime call 
, but Ramacciotti is all like "no, I didn't plan it" 
. Can we just get some tea on what really went down? 
️
. Ramacciotti's story doesn't add up. He's saying he didn't plan or participate in any conspiracy with Prosser, but I'm not buying it. Why else would he get paid $650 for showing him unreleased iOS features? That's just too convenient. And what about the whole Lipnik thing? It seems like Ramacciotti is trying to shift the blame to some other guy. I think there's more to this story than we're being told 
.
. But what's even more interesting is that Ramacciotti claims he didn't track Ethan Lipnik's location, but apparently Lipnik had already seen those new features a few weeks before 
.
that would be a good thing for both sides.
And $650 for showing some features? That's just greedy 
.
. I mean, I'm no expert, but from what's going on, it seems like Prosser was trying to get some info out of Ramacciotti and got paid for it 
. The fact that Lipnik's phone was accessed too is another concern, so let's hope there are no more twists and turns 
so like this is crazy... I mean, who knew that Jon Prosser was sneaky enough to try and get paid by Michael Ramacciotti after he showed him some iOS features on FaceTime? 
also can we talk about how Prosser is basically done with this case since he didn't respond to the lawsuit? 
This whole situation just got more complicated... it's interesting that Michael Ramacciotti is now claiming he didn't know Apple was recording their FaceTime call and didn't plan any conspiracy with Jon Prosser. It raises questions about trust and communication between co-defendants, especially when one of them (Prosser) is already facing a default judgment. The fact that several weeks prior to the FaceTime call, Ethan Lipnik had already "swiped through" new iOS features on his device does suggest some level of inside information, but Ramacciotti's adamant denial of possessing any Apple trade secrets or confidential info makes it tough to say what's really going on here...
so like i was following this whole apple jon prosser drama and now michael ramacciotti is admitting to getting paid by prosser lol but here's the thing, he says it was just a casual FaceTime call and not some big conspiracy 
idk if i'd be okay with being paid for showing someone else's work either 
what's gonna happen next tho??
