Can you remind me of the personal gain "they'll" win if whatever impalement you're talking about works out to the letter for "them"? Sure, I'll name the one that comes to mind: 1) Selective power & wealth redistribution from the private sector to the public sector, which strengthens one at the cost (monetarily as well as agility to name a couple) of the other. If 'worked to the letter', it has the ability to up the ante on the next frontal assault of the next company. It's a brick in the wall, but a brick none the less. The states involved should be just as obvious, perhaps with a greater weighting in the $ column, than the Federal Government. Unlike the Microsoft case, it mostly has been a 'worked to the letter' plan, compromised on behalf of other companies whom have been approached by the DoJ; held not to the rule of law, but to the rules of fear and intimidation. It's just another "low profile" tax of power and money upon the private sector, or legalized extortion. Unless of course, it's fully adjudicated, with the possible reversal of such attempt.
