Surprised this is legal (in spirit of law) as it’s clearly anti competitive towards new entrants



It's only illegal if you get caught and it's not as anyone goes to jail. Just pay the fine and continue operations.


For corporations the fine will always be less than the money you made breaking the law anyway so really you'd be foolish not to break the law. The justice department doesn't even care if you do, they just occasionally show up to take their cut of action and put out some feel-good press releases.
