#41 RICO Claims in Antitrust

In this episode, experts dive into the novel approach of adding racketeering charges in private antitrust litigation. Initially used to bring down organized crime rings, claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) have appeared in plaintiffs' lawsuits in the LIBOR and broiler chicken price-fixing cases. Host Anant Raut and co-host Sam Randall of Sperling Kenny Nachtwalter talk to Christina Lopez of the California DOJ and Ryan Holt of Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison PLC on the challenges of arguing RICO violations in antitrust suits. Later, they discuss how this might apply to algorithmic pricing. With special guests: Christina Lopez, Deputy Attorney General, California Department of Justice and Ryan Holt, Member, Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison, PLC Hosted by: Anant Raut and Sam Randall
