"Why don't you feel comfortable about sharing?"

"Before I tell you, you have to promise not to indict me."

"..."

"Promise?"

"... okay. We promise not to indict you."

"Okay, the thing is, I may have conspired with competitors to corner the market on ticket sales and bought up 85% of performance venues to lock in performers into using me to distribute tickets. Thus giving me near total control of the market."

"Yeah, that's a monopoly. We're breaking you up."

"YOU PROMISED NOT TO!"

"No, we promised not to indict you. Commerce doesn't need an indictment to pull your articles of corporation."

"Durnit!"
