Mark Whitacre

Mark Whitacre is an Ivy League Ph.D and is best known for being the highest-ranked executive of a Fortune 500 company to ever become a whistleblower in US history. He was the FBI informant of the historic ADM case and wore a wire everyday for almost three years. However, he was charged for several white-collar crimes including fraud that occurred during his tenure as President of the Fortune 500 company's BioProducts Division. Whitacre served over eight and half years in federal prison, almost all of that in minimum-security camps. His undercover work with the FBI during the ADM scandal was the inspiration for the major motion picture, "The Informant," starring Matt Damon as Mark Whitacre. The recent Christian book, "Mark Whitacre Against all Odds," describes the rest of the story about how faith has molded Mark's life since the ADM scandal.

As Douglas Burris, Chief of U.S. Federal Probation in the Eastern District of Missouri has stated publicly, "The story about Mark Whitacre's redemption and second chance is one of the most inspirational stories of our time." Today, the FBI agents, whom were involved with Mark's case, tout Whitacre publicly as a "national hero" for his substantial assistance with one of the most important white-collar cases in history. And four FBI agents -- along with a former federal prosecutor involved with Mark's case -- are lobbying for a Presidential Pardon for Mark.
