Tenchu, I bet that estimate is for a settlement if this is not taken to court...I would think if this is taken to court for several years AMD is going to want a lot more...

Wow 9 matches!

Gee you do legal analysis by wc?

Here's the relevant CA Code section:

"17045. The secret payment or allowance of rebates, refunds,
commissions, or unearned discounts, whether in the form of money or
otherwise, or secretly extending to certain purchasers special
services or privileges not extended to all purchasers purchasing upon
like terms and conditions, to the injury of a competitor and where
such payment or allowance tends to destroy competition, is unlawful."

Where's the monopoly in that?

Now take a look at the Clayton Act, you'll see the same thing.

I find it hard to justify a $3.2bn award, maybe under Clayton Act 3x3.2bn = $10bn

I think you may find my estimate well worth it. Bookmark it.
