The routinely excellent Bloomberg Law is reporting that the DOJ’s prosecution of the owner of a physical therapy staffing company and his medical director for price-fixing has failed to secure any Sherman Act convictions.  The jury empaneled in the Eastern District of Texas failed to convict either defendant for price-fixing and only checked the guilty box against the staffing company owner for obstruction of the FTC investigation.  This prosecution is one of many in which the DOJ is focusing its prosecutions on the executives of the companies allegedly engaged in antitrust violations that impact employees, including no-poach agreements amongst competitors or related agreements to artificially hold down competitive wages paid in the marketplace.
