More on Kurt Eichenwald
Description from Wikipedia:
Kurt Alexander Eichenwald (born June 28, 1961), an American writer and investigative reporter formerly with The New York Times and later with Condé Nast's business magazine, Portfolio. Eichenwald had been employed by the Times since 1986 and primarily covered Wall Street and corporate topics such as insider trading, accounting scandals, and takeovers, but also wrote about a range of issues including terrorism, the Clinton pardons scandal, Federal health care policy and sexual predators on the Internet. He is the author of three bestselling books, two of which are currently in development as motion pictures. Eichenwald resigned his last position (at Portfolio) following revelation of payments to an abused teen turned child pornographer named Justin Berry that he had not disclosed in an investigative report he did while still employed by the Times. He has since talked of severe memory problems as a consequence of his epilepsy, citing them as the reason he failed to disclose the payments.
