The story

Mark Whitacre, a rising star at the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) office in Decatur, Illinois, during the early 1990s, blows the whistle on the company's price-fixing tactics at the urging of his wife Ginger.

Whitacre assists in gathering evidence by clandestinely taping the company's activity in business meetings at various locations around the globe.

He eventually collects enough evidence of collaboration and conspiracy to warrant a raid of ADM.
