Review the documents.  The company engaged in multiple illegal acts.
Multiple employees discussed the acts.

>> No wire tapping was done.

I forgot to paste the appropriate statute:

California has a "two-party consent" law. It a crime to record or eavesdrop
on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or
telephone call, without the consent of ALL parties to the conversation per
California Penal Code § 632.

So even recording the "entrapment attempt" calls without informing all
parties was wiretapping.

There's been so many fiercely defensive uninformed excuses offered for
Syngenta's overtly illegal acts, and so many attempts to continue to smear
the researcher, one is prompted to wonder what might motivate this.  The 100
Reporters article said:

"[Syngenta] also secretly paid a stable of seemingly independent [people] to
extol the economic benefits of atrazine and downplay its environmental and
health risks, without disclosing their financial ties to the company..."

One would be well advised to check one's facts carefully on this issue, lest
one be mistaken for a paid shill, or a shill hoping to be paid.  Not that
anyone cares what a random beekeeper thinks.
