Technically it is possible that this could only apply to FSC members but realistically it would be unlikely that the DOJ would start enforcing it elsewhere because its unlikely that it would be enforceable if challenged.

Mike I disagree. The FSC could fashion a settlement where the DOJ agrees to not prosecute FSC members and I believe such a settlement would hold up under scrutiny of any challenge to the settlement's legitimacy. The Feds settle with people all the time and I have personal experience with seeing a group of people prosecuted and then selectively a segment of that group is given amnesty or a lesser sentence in exchange for some action favorable to the prosecution's side. Here would be no different.
