Mark Whitacre's story: from Published book to Hollywood film



Mark Whitacre Against All Odds by author ‘Floyd Perry’ is a gripping story about Mark Whitacre, a top-level corporate executive who becomes an informant for the FBI, revealing his company’s multinational conspiracy of price fixing.

This in mind, he is known to be the highest-ranking executive-turned-whistleblower in the entire US history. During the investigation, Whitacre admitted to having been involved with embezzling funds and receiving corporate kickbacks, which sent him to almost a decade in prison.

After having been freed from prison, Mark Whitacre reveals his reflections and realizations in this self-published book - that spiritual wealth matters far more than material wealth and to be truthful at all times. His story provides spiritual boost that can be applied in everyday life.

The Informant! is the latest movie under the direction of Steven Soderbergh, who is also known for the films Che, Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s Eleven, Traffic and Sex, Lies and Videotape.

  1. The film "The Informant" is adapted from the book "The Informant" by Kurt Eichenwald. Though I'm sure "Mark Whitacre - Against All Odds" is an engaging read, the screenplay for the film has nothing to do with Floyd Perry's self-published book.
