There’s definitely precedent for public companies (even international ones!) colluding to artificially increase prices in a sector. Also a hilarious movie with Matt Damon.

Has there ever been precedent for companies to collude to increase the prices they pay their vendors?

I’m seeing a lot of big claims, but no evidence.
