#29 What Does a Price Fixer Look Like? Understanding the Profile of Criminal Antitrust Defendants

https://ourcuriousamalgam.com/episode-player/959/29-what-does-price-fixer-look-like.mp3

Every year, US prosecutors charge dozens of people for price-fixing. Who are these people? What drives them to price-fix? And why are almost all of them men? Two former DOJ antitrust prosecutors Anna Pletcher and Heather Nyong’o tell us what price fixers have in common, the one woman price-fixing defendant they prosecuted, and what we can do to counter corporate cultures prone to price-fixing.
