    It’s prima facie evidence of price fixing. Not that I expect it to ever be prosecuted, or even seriously investigated.

      I think maybe they make an example of a few companies but that the fines are considerably less than the windfall of cash the price gouging got them and the rest of the offenders out there (many of which I bet are even worse) will get off scot-free

      Price fixing is when multiple companies collude to raise the price, companies charging more on their own is not price fixing.
