3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the net effect of Kozin’s bribery was indirect price discrimination with regard to the prices charged Greene by suppliers potentially common to Kozin and Greene. Thus, because of Kane’s interest in the transactions, Greene acquired goods at a price higher than that paid by Kozin or than that which would have been paid by Greene purchasing independently or as Kozin’s equal partner. This injury is entitled to redress under Section 2(c).”
