Abstract
This case describes the antitrust prosecutions in the United States and abroad of the international bulk vitamins cartel. Both the civil and criminal fines were historically high, and it was the first time the United States prosecuted foreign nationals for US criminal antitrust charges. It also details allegations of price-fixing by NASDAQ securities traders, which began when an academic paper accused NASDAQ market makers of avoiding quotes with odd-numbered increments. The remaining vignette provides an account of the price-fixing scandal involving Christie's and Sotheby's fine-art auction houses.
Other setting(s):
1997-2001
