The four foreign memory giants--Micron, Hynix, Samsung, and Infineon--have been convicted of, or pled guilty to, conspiring to fix prices on memory chips. Executives from Hynix, Samsung, and Infineon all received prison sentences. Apparently Micron execs rolled on the other three, and received no prison time.

More recently, on April 24, 2006, Rambus won a patent infringement lawsuit against Hynix.

Now if Rambus can only get the FTC to back off...

"Is the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) corrupt?"

Does a bear poop in the woods?

Just one of the multitudes of govt. agencies that should be disbanded, thrown out like the garbbage they are.

All bureaus are in the corruption business. I don't want anyone thinking that the FTC is somehow special.

Unelected, unaccountable bureaucracies writing law is, by its nature, a corrupt influence in a democratic republic. The federal bureaucracy is nothing more than the American version of the socialist soviets. Unelected bureaucrats writing law is a primary feature in every dictatorship. They are unaccountable to the people, and the people have no direct means to remove them from office when they engage in theft, political partisanship and undermine our freedoms.

So yes, the bureaucracy is a corrupt entity corrupting the nation.

Is the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) corrupt?

My reading of history suggests that Government, by its very nature, is corrupt.
