Maybe off topic but I watched "The Informant" on DVD earlier this week. It's based on the story of Mark Whitacre, an ADM VP who became a corporate whistleblower about ADM's involvement in price fixing. Good movies, imo anyway. Appears to be mostly true though the movie probably takes some dramatic (or comedic) license. After blowing the whistle on ADM Whitacre ends up doing nine years for his own corruption in soliciting kickbacks from suppliers. It's always seemed to me that among ADM's most valuable assets were the politicians in its pocket. I realize that's probably not unique to ADM.
