Lying

Mark is the senior vice president of a giant company (ADM, which produces and sells food additives, ranked 44 in the world). The main content of his work is to travel back and forth to all continents and negotiate production market quotas with other large intercontinental companies to manipulate market prices. As a marketer with a biologist background, manipulating prices is a felony, and he is very upset; at the same time, the company's upper management does not seem to give him corresponding conscience compensation, and he is very upset.
How would scientists deal with this situation? Mark incorporated a virus into the lysine formula, which delayed the progress of the R&D project, and the company lost 7 million dollars a day. At the same time, he invented a non-existent Japanese businessman to his superiors. : Yamamoto, this guy claimed that there was an inner ghost sent by Japan in ADM who poisoned the formula to destroy the project. As long as ADM gives him 10 million, he will provide this person's information and help solve the formula problem.
The scientist’s plan for the future is to move to Mexico with his beautiful wife and two adopted children to live a conscience-worthy life. For this reason, he has never stopped collecting money. Every month, he uses email fraud and rebates to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars from partners, distributors, and companies—"I just grab the supermarket, they Looting the whole world"

Unfortunately, at this time, the FBI was brought to the upper level. The FBI conducted telephone surveillance on Mark's house. The excitement came from this. The scientist fought back. He got into the detective’s car to seek cooperation and revealed the bottom of the owner’s manipulation of market prices. He cooperated with the FBI for two and a half years and recorded hundreds of cassettes... The

story is in his description. Next, it became like this:

As a marketer with a biologist background, he abides by the law and is kind, and adopted two children with his wife; he is upset about price manipulation and cannot bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he chooses to cooperate with the FBI Cooperation, I hope the government will return him innocence after finding out the truth.
Things did not develop as he wanted. After the evidence collection was successful, the company stabbed him out of receiving a kickback. All the evidence brought out the fact that all he did was just to send the upper echelons to prison. He was innocent. People are good to take their place. Lawyers and agents lost their trust in him one after another: Is it 5 million? Still 9.5 million? FBI violently attacked him during the forensic cooperation? Did the FBI kidnap him during the indictment? He always has some "truths" that he hasn't told us yet!

Mark went to jail for five years. The guys who ransacked the world were sentenced to only three years.
Fortunately, in the end, the scientist was granted a presidential pardon. Before he was released from prison, he told the detectives: I can’t remember, it may be 11.5 million. Good guy, it seems there is more than 11.5 million. The superstructure is built up with lies.

---------------Dividing line of digressions-------------------
There is such a community that I like to go shopping when I have nothing to do , The log-in entrance always sends a motto every day, most of the time it reads: xxxx: pain comes from the reality of encirclement and suppression.
Shet, the pain actually comes from lying that you can't feel comfortable with! Look at this elegant gentleman, think about the old Jewish men in "Growing Education", how calm when lying, there are always people in the world who are willing to consume lies, as long as the packaging is gorgeous, is it true or not? who care!

    Matt Damon is really changeable. There is a saying that when people are still looking forward to some results, the results have already been decided.

    71/100. There's still a lot of risk in basing a movie basically entirely on dialogue. In fact, the last sentence "I don't know" in Brother Damon's heart is the highlight of the whole film.
