At this point, Antitrust law is no longer the right statute for prosecution.

RICO is.

Anything trying to protect consumer rights at the federal level risks getting shut down during a future Republican administration.

If you've ever seen those "Click To Reveal Price" or "Price Only Revealed At Checkout" products online, this here is one reason why. They help businesses keep discounted prices hidden from Amazon's crawlers.

Amazon would be smart to settle with no admission of wrongdoing and an agreement to seal documents lest every other state end up following suit.

Unsurprising

Did Amazon think they were too big to convict?

I wonder if they will meet the fate of Standard Oil, back in the day.
