Your dismissive comment shows you know nothing about these matters and while my comment was a quick one as I presumed everyone is aware of these facts, let me show you a few more qualified bodies/persons who believe Amazon might have violated antitrust laws.
2. Predatory pricing has long been a concern with Amazon. This is prohibited under the Robinson‑Patman and Sherman Acts. Since Matsushita v. Zenith such cases have been few and far between but https://doi.org/10.1093/jaenfo/jnz006 provides a roadmap on how this could be proven for Amazon.

future, 30% of the world’s gross economic output may lie with these firms, and just a handful of
others.
In interviews with Subcommittee staff, numerous businesses described how dominant
platforms exploit their gatekeeper power to dictate terms and extract concessions that no one would
reasonably consent to in a competitive market."
