PCI is not a law, it's an industry standard. Only a couple of states legally mandate compliance to PCI DSS.

I agree OP should report them, though.

This is true, but if the competitor is advertising PCI compliance and is not providing that, their consumers have a right to know that they are not getting what they paid for.

He would lose his ability to process credit cards, possibly having bank accounts closed etc.
