Egg price-fixing cartel: producers earned 1,000 times more than the fine they paid
Egg producers fined for price-fixing made roughly a thousand times more from their illegal cartel than the penalty they ultimately paid, according to an analysis published in The Big Newsletter. The case illustrates a wider failure of antitrust enforcement: when fines are far smaller than illegal profits, breaking the law remains financially rational. The piece argues that meaningful deterrence requires penalties that actually exceed the gains from the crime.
