Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of ASA "agreeing" to stay out of IN, but secretly allowing one person to make the purchases. This could drive the prices up, and could be perceived as a conflict of interest.
So basically what I'm saying is... I heartily doubt ASA would ever enter into such an agreement.
