Bid Rigging is s very serious federal crime. Auctioneer will immediately report illegal conduct by any person to the United States Attorney and Department of Justice for Investigation and prosecution to the fullest extent to the law. Title 15, Section 1 of the United States Code provides any agreement among potential bidders not to bid against one another, or otherwise to dampen the bidding process, is a felony under federal law. The law provides the fines of up to $10 million per violation for a corporate offender, and $350,000 per violation for others, as well as imprisonment of up to three years. DON'T TAKE THE CHANCE!
