- nl 3y agoI think you are probably mostly familiar with high profile cases in the tech space. Outside that the DoJ has a pretty strong record of success in antitrust cases. Recent examples include: * A case involving wage suppression by a secret agreement of poultry procesors in Georgia (May 2023) * A divestment agreement for ASSA ABLOY AB to take over Spectrum Brand Holding Inc.’s Hardware and Home Improvement division * An antitrust lawsuit against Activision for esport wage surpression. See https://www.justice.gov/news/press-releases?f%5B0%5D=facet_topics%3A25306 https://www.justice.gov/news/press-releases?f%5B0%5D=facet_t... if you want more I suspect antitrust action against a Chinese-owned entity that had shutdown travel in the US would be fairly broadly supported.
