DDC COURTHOUSE, Aug 5 – A company traded
over-the-counter who claims to be suffering a decade or
more of antitrust harm from AT&T, Apple and others had
a(nothing) day in court on August 5. Inner City Press was
there.
DDC Judge Randolph D. Moss expressed deep
skepticism about the company's business, beyond just
suing. Do you have a phone for sale? he asked. Do you have
any customers at all? That's just the point,
your Honor, their lawyer said hopefully. You understand
our case. Judge Moss looked ever more
skeptical. Finally some in the gallery stood and
left.
As did Inner City Press, given that unlike
in SDNY there can be a demand in DDC to show that one's
cell phone is all the way turned off. Why so secret?
Another, related, contrast to SDNY: in DDC, at least on August
5, the Press Room was not only locked, but had a big sign
"Out of Order." Indeed.
Elsewhere in DDC Judge Carl J.
Nichols was asking DOJ why it didn't provide notice to
those with money in the failed Mount Gox crypto fiasco.
The prosecutor blamed it on worries about risks caused by
crypto aficionados with bad intentions on DOJ's website,
and on some countries requiring MLATs. But what of those
in other countries?
