How later courts describe this case
- compensating, under § 4, litigation of all issues "that a reasonable and prudent antitrust lawyer would have litigated"
- "[n]ot only must the injury be direct, but it must be of the kind the antitrust laws were written to guard against."
- "where a defendant is improperly convicted for a lesser included offense, the proper remedy is to vacate both the conviction and sentence on the included offense, leaving the conviction and sentence on the greater offense intact"
- The court held that failure to file is a lesser offense included in a § 7201 conviction. “Appellant argues, and we agree, that failure to file is a lesser offense included in a Section 7201 conviction based on the facts of this case. The government conceded as much at oral argument.”
- defendant sought production of FBI investigative files
