No-poaching agreements are very clearly illegal and should have resulted in immediate charges being levied against a metric shit-ton of people as the only way that works with all these franchises is if many people are involved. The DOJ has formally acknowledged these practices are illegal and a serious violation of existing laws: https://www.justice.gov/atr/file/903511/download Well...it's been nearly 18 months since that announcement. Why haven't I seen a whole bunch of people get charged with felony antitrust violations, as per the DOJ's own statements about its intent to "proceed criminally against naked wage-fixing or no-poaching agreements"?

Where are the handcuffs?
