I mean no. The LIBOR analogy is appropriate. Large, long-term egg supply contracts are fixed to an index and that index was manipulated. That's criminal conspiracy and price fixing, not just a liquid market.

That's notably different from say the current scrum for HBM where the demand truly came as a surprise and scarce supply gets bid up.

Micron's windfall is justified and natural as these things go. The egg windfall was manufactured and criminal.
