Case Name: | In re Potash Antitrust Litigation (II), Case No. 1:08-CV-6910 |
Case Summary: |
Potash is a mineral used in fertilizer, some snow melting solutions, and some water softening solutions. The plaintiffs allege that U.S., Canadian, Russian, and Belarus potash suppliers worked together to artificially restrict supply of Potash and drive up the price. The defendants claim they did nothing wrong, that they were just exchanging kitten photos, but nonetheless settled the case to avoid further litigation. Trust attorneys to look of on the negative side. We see the defendants working together across countries like a United Nations of price fixers. |
Settlement Pool: | $20,000,000 |
