Your man Payne wrote -
"The clear and convincing evidence shows that Rambus knew, or should have known, that its patent-infringement suit was baseless, unjustified and frivolous - one which reasonably intelligent people should have known would have no chance of success"
On appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Dederal District countered - "In sum, the district court erred in its construction of each of the disputed terms. In light of the revised claim construction, this court vacates the grant of JMOL of noninfringement and remands for the district court to reconsider infringement."
"In sum, substantial evidence does not support the jury's verdict that Rambus breached its duties under the EIA/JEDEC policy. Infineon did not show the first element of a Virginia fraud action and therefore did not prove fraud associated with the SDRAM standard. No reasonable jury could find otherwise. The district court erred in denying JMOL of no fraud on the SDRAM verdict. Because of these holdings, the new trial and injunction issues are moot."
Add a little substance to your article.

Surprisingly, you cannot even find the plea deal on the DOJ website. That shows their influence in perverting justice.

Call Judge Payne and ask him what happened to the Infineon hard drive that was entrusted to him in the 11th hour.
It just disappeared.

The issues that the district court judge ruled on weren't even fully heard in his court. He based his judgment on a non-final judgment that he hurriedly put together in the Infineon case when he heard that a judge in California was ready to try the same facts . That itself proves that (Judge) Payne had an unhealthy interest in the outcome of the case.
So basically you had a final judgment against Rambus without a trial and zero live witnesses, in the Virginia federal district court. All the traits of a Kangaroo Kourt.
Meanwhile in California, Judge Whyte after a full hearing involving numerous live witnesses ruled completely for Rambus.
Samsung along with the other DRAM price fixing cartel members (Micron [Ring Leader], Hynix and Nanya] have pled guilty to antitrust price-fixing charges by the Department of Justice and have paid record fines.
Any "journalist" has the responsibility to dig in a little deeper rather than put out the version that the cartel hands over to him.
And any moron writing on a message board should have figure out that the IP that is used in RDRAM is essential for SDRAM, DDR and DDR2. Infineon settled with Rambus and paid $50-$150M to Rambus even after Payne's travesty of a non-final judgment. Samsung was a signed licensee until they decided that they did not want to pay a penny more than Infineon and there was a corrupt judge in Virginia who might help them avoid paying.
