If you suspect big corporations sometimes place profits before ethical and transparent business practices, this book will absolutely confirm that suspicion. I also got an education on things like food additives - or more precisely, biologically engineered things fed to would-be food, like chickens, to make them heavier - and related US and international corporations' price fixing and dirty dealings. This book isn't very stylishly written, but it does march steadily forward with plenty of true details taken from court documents, tapes, and interviews. The author was blessed with a main character who is a bit of a nut case, whose schemes provide good plot twists and surprises, and who was willing to talk with the author at length - both before and after incarceration. This character study adds the entertainment and interest to what is basically an account of a very complex and lengthy federal investigation and prosecution of a large US corporation for price fixing.
