EBlock Corp. has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, and agreed to pay a $3.28 million criminal fine for charges of “entering into and engaging in a combination and conspiracy — through individuals who became employees as a result of an asset acquisition — to suppress competition by rigging bids and pooling profits in online used vehicle auctions, in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1, and for engaging — through individuals who became employees as a result of an asset acquisition- in deceitful bidding practices, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343,” according to a DOJ news release and court filings.
