Edwards Lifesciences paid $115 million for JC Medical in July 2024, an amount that landed just beneath the $119.5 million threshold that would have required the transaction to be reported to federal antitrust authorities.

For 208 business days, Deutsche Bank’s reports to Australia’s corporate regulator placed hundreds of thousands of derivatives transactions on the wrong side of the ledger. The problem was in the “direction” fields, mandatory entries showing whether the bank was acting as the effective buyer or seller at a specified price.

But procedural documents often reveal where policymakers believe the difficult work actually lies, and this one suggests the challenge is no longer whether institutions should collaborate. It is how they can do so without weakening the privacy protections that made collaboration difficult in the first place.
