Heir-Location Firm Charged with Conspiring to Allocate Customers

In a federal antitrust complaint, an heir-location services firm and its co-owner were charged with conspiring to allocate customers with a competitor. The firm had a 15-year-long streak of allocating customers to co-conspirators “to suppress and eliminate competition.” Similar cases have included a criminal fine of $890,000.
