> Arguably the more important outcome than monetary damages

Every single consumer that bought a product from one of these third party sellers, or a matching product from Amazon, has been cheated out of several dollars. For each product, for each sale... that adds up to way more than $2.5 million.

And the funny part is that a few database queries could likely surface exactly who has been harmed, how many times, and a gross sale amount affected.

Easy proof for a class action?

The "offending program" ceased in 2020, though, didn't it?

That's not how we punish other crimes. We don't give serial killers 1 year in prison and set them loose because the killin' spree has ceased.
