The Archer Daniels Midland price-fixing scandal resulted in a record $100 million fine — and at the center of the scandal was ADM executive Mark Whitacre.
An exclusive filmed interview with Whitacre will be screened and discussed at Lifetree Café on Monday, Feb. 5, 2018 at 2 p.m.
The program, titled “Whistleblower: The True Story of an FBI Informant,” will explore why Whitacre participated in a crime that defrauded millions of American consumers. It will also explore the effects of his decision to cooperate with authorities in prosecuting the crime.
“I wore a wire for three years, and it was the most pressure I’ve had in my life,” Whitacre says. “Prison is a cakewalk compared to wearing a wire for the FBI.”
During the session Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to discuss times they’ve faced difficult moral decisions.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapenos, 314 N Second Avenue, Sandpoint, Idaho.
