This is a group of people, comprising the top angel investors in a given area, investing lots of money, into a lot of companies, supposedly discussing - in private - how to "divide the market" and "set prices" and "exclude/marginalize competition". Angel investors, despite being individuals, still have regulations and laws to follow. Frankly, I think the feds would jump at the chance to have an excuse to jump in and more tightly regulate/tax/etc the entire system, including angel investors. You could very well be right; admittedly, I'm not the smartest tool in the shed when it comes to understanding FTC and government investment regulations, as well as the legal status of angel investors. Heck, I really hope this is all wrong, because the last thing I want is the feds meddling in this industry even more. I make my living on startups; the last thing I want is the federal government to make it wither and die.
