British lawyer and whistleblower Jonathan Taylor exposed a $275 million bribery scheme by SBM Offshore, a multinational oil firm, only to become the target of defamation suits, SLAPP tactics, and an Interpol Red Notice. As part of the wider campaign to silence him, Taylor was arrested in Croatia and was nearly extradited to Monaco on unfounded charges. He subsequently spent years under de-facto legal siege while fighting to hold corrupt executives accountable. Now vindicated but without escaping damaging impact, Taylor recounts his harrowing journey from whistleblower to survivor, demonstrating the risk and impact of exposing corporate corruption.

Editor's Note: **CORRECTION** - Jonathan has informed us that he received the email from SBM executive Sietze Hepkema before his negotiations for a greater severance package failed, not after. He assured us this does not affect our telling of the story. But we apologize for this error and any confusion it may have caused.
