📰 What Happened
Fintiv has filed a lawsuit in Atlanta federal court claiming Apple stole trade secrets to develop Apple Pay. The suit alleges Apple obtained confidential information during 2011-2012 meetings with CorFire (later acquired by Fintiv) under NDAs, then hired key CorFire employees in 2014. Apple Pay now generates fees through partnerships with major banks including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and payment networks like Visa and Mastercard.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The consolidation of digital payments under Apple Pay, connecting major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America with payment networks Visa and Mastercard, demonstrates how rapidly financial control is centralizing. This aligns with prophetic timeline markers showing the infrastructure for economic control developing through tech platforms. The alleged theft of CorFire's technology suggests how aggressively key players are moving to dominate digital transactions - a necessary precursor to the prophesied economic system where all transactions are monitored and controlled.
