The Informant
The Informant | Kurt Eichenwald
6 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
The Informant is Mark Whitacre, a senior executive with America's most powerful food giant, who put his career and his family's safety at risk to become a confidential government witness. Using Whitacre's secret recordings and a team of agents, the FBI uncovered the corporation's scheme to steal millions of dollars from its own customers. But as the FBI closed in on their target, they suddenly realized that Whitacre wasn't quite playing the game they'd thought ... This is the gripping account of how a corporate golden boy became an FBI mole and went on to double-cross both the authorities and his employers in one of the most extraordinary cases of global corporate corruption of the last thirty years.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is not the type of read you can knock out in a few days. It's a marathon requiring an appetite for plenty of detailed interactive research.
Personally I love Eichenwald's style but I recognize it's not for everyone.
If you're a #Nonfiction #TrueCrime fan I would highly recommend.

This crazy book gets twistier and twistier. In many ways the movie stays true but several big events and details omitted. Still on this book several weeks later!

Moving this #Nonfiction #TrueCrime from my #TBR stack to my Current Reading stack. Loved Eichenwald's work on Enron so I'm hoping to enjoy this prequel. Maybe I'll be in the small majority! I watched the movie so we'll see how they compare.

A body part lol I guess that would have been a better answer for halloween 😂

Factaddict73 I could not finish this... it was chosen for a nonfiction addiction book club, and I found that very few people managed to make the trek through the whole padded thing. Not being involved in a field that involves the industries involved did not help, either. The narrative minutiae was seriously offputting.... ( I don‘t have to be told that the person switched lanes, activated his turn signal, and waited for three cars to pass pre turn) 5y
