U.S. Justice Department sues RealPage, alleging it enabled price-fixing on rents

It's fine. Scotus will just say that the DOJ doesn't have authority to file lawsuits without express congressional legislation on each individual matter.

So naturally they're going to collect a shitload of money from them and the landlords using this scheme and use it to reimburse all of the people who were negatively affected by this illegal practice, right?

...right?

It is literally fucking price fixing software. That's what it does.

I have zero faith this will result in more affordable housing.

They best not let Yardi off the hook. Those pukes are doing the exact same thing. Get the big property owners who were in on it too.

Even if they don’t force a huge fine (arguably they should literally dissolve the company, sell any assets, equally distributing the proceeds to all employees), at least we can have a tiny step forward. Progress can come in fits and starts, and it can also come one tiny little slice at a time.

USJD getting its slice of the grift.
