The Justice Dept. has finally caught up with some auto-parts price-fixing crooks:
Now we know why.
Well, be careful about making too many generalizations. The auto makers have been squeezing suppliers until they scream for a few decades now. The wonder is that they haven't *all* gone bankrupt.
If it tells us anything in general, I think it is that too much price coercion is going to force suppliers to find ways around it in order to survive. Without knowing the details about the current situation, my feeling is that they just pushed too hard. I doubt if it was driven by greed. More likely it was survival.
However, fraud is fraud.
the justice dept must have been hurting for money. There's no way it took
10 years to discover all this. They're just as crooked.
