*DOJ Going Overboard:The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has begun investigating Visa (V.US) [Visa] over anticompetitive practices again. This time for alleged restrictions of merchants from routing in-store and online debit-card transactions through less expensive card networks, which is in contravention to the 2010 Durbin Amendment; and*Here Is Where We Think The DOJ Is Wrong: With Visa’s termination of its upstart Plaid acquisition, Visa’s alleged attempt to monopolize the online debit business has already been thwarted.
