The game he was playing was "become a billionaire." I was a member of the protected class in the Apple-Pixar-Google etc case. When I left, I got a 50% raise. I estimate that that collusion cost O(10,000) people between $50,000 and $500,000 each (my settlement was less than $10K, and my personal loss was ~$40,000/yr * 5 years).

Given that Ben is discussing executives here, let's say: O(1,000) people what, $100,000 to $1,000,000 each?

Here is Ben 3 years previously recommending that executives break the law to preserve their standing with each other:

"It is important to note that just about all of these kinds of policies violate the Right to Work laws in California. Specifically, if you block a hire based on this kind of policy and the employee loses their job and cannot find work, your company is liable for his wages. As a result, the business relationship with the other company must be extremely important for you to employ any kind of “hands off” policy."
