The Informant!
Manage episode 401912020 series 3519180
In 1992, Mark Whitacre, vice president of a Fortune 500 company, agreed to be an undercover FBI informant to help an investigation into price fixing. In 1998, he was convicted of 46 felonies involving fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and price fixing; sentenced to nine years in federal prison; and ordered to pay $11 million in restitution to his former employer. How accurately did Steven Soderbergh portray these events in his biographical comedy The Informant! (2009), staring Matt Damon?
