Mea culpa--I used the wrong word, settlement, instead of the correct one, verdict. OTOH, this has to do with inter-corporate battles starting 25 years ago, not some recent rise of commodity cartelling. A 12-year-old federal antitrust case against the nation's largest egg producers came to a tentative close on Friday, after a jury delivered a verdict awarding four food corporations $17.7 million in damages. The four plaintiff corporations first sued the egg producers in December 2011, accusing them of using multiple tactics to jack up egg prices starting as early as 1998. However, the jury found the corporations only suffered damages from the price fixing between October 2004 and December 2008. No individual consumers were represented in the suit. https://www.courthousenews.com/jury-awards-corporations-17-7-million-in-egg-price-fixing-suit/ https://www.courthousenews.com/jury-awards-corporations-17-7...
