BlockBeats News, June 29th – Last Friday, the Northern District of California Federal Court received a class-action lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology. The plaintiffs, including consumers and small businesses, accuse the three companies of violating antitrust laws by coordinating to restrict traditional DRAM production capacity, artificially creating shortages and raising prices. According to the complaint, the aforementioned collusion has led to a cumulative 700% increase in commercial DRAM prices over the past four years, causing widespread impact on global consumer electronics and business IT procurement.
