Perhaps Paul doesn't want to take that walk.

Perhaps Paul doesn't have any choice.

INTC has to get through the next six months without an I&E statement in taters. If they can bring "Conroe profits" into 2Q and 3Q through tieing it the P4 dogs, it might be a Faustian bargain they will accept. A "Fired CEO walk" must also be on his mind.

Maybe they'll pay later -- like six years later. And maybe not.

And I still do not know what laws they would break.

The banking example you cited said that it was illegal in that instance of tieing a mortgage to moving you checking account.
Be that as it may, for some reason when we refinanced our mortgage 8 years ago, we also opened a checking account there and got a safety deposit box, too. Hypothetically---was it illegal for them to give us a 1/4% break in the rate and a SD box if we open a checking account, too?

I am sure Intel lawyers explored all of the possible loopholes over the years since the last time they got caught. And I am sure they found more than one loophole.

let say that the condition to be on preferential treatment list would be a minimum monthly order of n chips. But, unfortunately, the conroe allocation could be only 5% of n.

I do not think that the valume discounts are against the law
