How a $2,289,751 cashier’s cheque saved Google from a big ad tech case going to jury

Google successfully avoided a jury trial in its ongoing antitrust case by delivering a $2,289,751 cashier’s cheque (a cashier’s cheque is drawn against the bank’s account, making it responsible for payment) to the US Department of Justice. The case, brought by the DOJ and 18 states, alleges that Google operates a monopoly in the digital advertising market.
