Amazon accuses FTC of harassing Jeff Bezos and CEO Andy Jassy

Amazon Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) accused the Federal Trade Commission for harassing company’s executive chairman Jeff Bezos and CEO Andy Jassy in an investigation into Prime subscription business.

According to a filing, Amazon said FTC has been asking the executives to testify in the investigation.

FTC has been investigating Prime business over concerns that it misleads users regarding signing up or canceling their subscriptions.

Amazon’s lawyers said in the filing that the FTC’s demand for Bezos and Jassy to testify at an investigational hearing “on an open-ended list of topics on which they have no unique knowledge is grossly unreasonable, unduly burdensome, and calculated to serve no other purpose than to harass Amazon’s highest-ranking executives and disrupt its business operations.”
