Warner Bros. Pictures just released this brand new movie poster from the upcoming film “The Informant!” aka The Infromant by director Steven Soderbergh (The Girlfriend Experience) and starring Matt Damon (The Adjustment Bureau, Ocean’s Thirteen), Melanie Lynskey (Pysch) and Clancy Brown (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Conan: Red Nails).
Synopsis: As a result of the hundreds of tapes made by Whitacre, the lysine conspirators, including ADM, ultimately settled federal charges for more than $100 million. ADM also paid hundreds of millions of dollars in class action settlements to customers that it stole from during the price-fixing schemes. Several Asian and European lysine and citric acid producers, whom conspired to fix prices with ADM, paid criminal fines in the tens of millions of dollars to the U.S. government. A few top executives, including the Vice Chairman of ADM who was the son of the former powerful Chairman, received three years of federal prison time. The ADM investigation, in turn, convinced antitrust prosecutors that price-fixing was a far more pervasive problem than they had suspected and led to prosecutions of cartels in vitamins, fax paper, and graphite electrodes. Billions of dollars have already been paid in antitrust fines to the U.S. government since Whitacre first blew the whistle in 1992.
