Amazon accused of price-fixing via internal emails

Newly unsealed emails suggest Amazon engaged in collusive practices to inflate prices across various product categories online. California's Attorney General alleges that Amazon coordinated with competitors and vendors to stop price matching, leading to higher consumer costs for items ranging from clothing to furniture. The emails reportedly detail schemes where Amazon influenced rivals to raise prices or pressured vendors to remove products from cheaper platforms. Amazon has dismissed the claims, calling them an attempt to distract from a weak case and asserting its reputation for offering low prices.
