Meet the real-life Informant!

By Eric Robinette | Thursday, September 17, 2009, 10:57 AM

Tomorrow I will write about Matt Damon’s performance as Mark Whitacre, an FBI informant who fingered his employer in what was then the biggest price-fixing case in U.S. history.

Today, however, I’d like to introduce you to the real Mark Whitacre, a Warren County native. I spoke to Whitacre about the experience of seeing his story become a movie; you can read my interview here.

My review of The Informant! will post Friday.
