<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2793876, member: 39084&quot;]It defies common sense to think that a few collectors casually discussing how they might bid at an upcoming auction can possibly violate the Sherman Antitrust Act.&nbsp; Sallent&#039;s observation above is just one of the myriad reasons it makes no logical sense to think that the Sherman Act would apply to the situation that started this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>The argument that there are a lot of nonsensical laws still on the books only pertains to the laws themselves, not to the application of the laws.&nbsp; The Sherman Act isn&#039;t nonsensical, but its application to CoinTalkers deciding among themselves how they&#039;ll bid on the next NAC auction would be nonsensical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ultimately, the only individuals who can authoritatively answer this question are lawyers experienced in the interpretation and application of the Sherman Act.&nbsp; I doubt any of them frequent this site.&nbsp; In the absence of their authoritative opinions, I&#039;ll sleep comfortably no matter how many CoinTalkers I discuss my bids with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
