In May 2006, Andrea Brown learned a juicy secret about her boss.

Brown, an employee at Lockheed Martin Corp., found out that her supervisor, Wendy Owen, was misusing the corporate pen-pal program, which was meant to boost the morale of soldiers deployed in Iraq. Owen was having multiple sexual affairs with soldiers she had met through the program. She was also using company funds to pay for transportation, hotels and gifts for her lovers, and she was passing these expenses on to Lockheed’s clients.
