Joya Williams stole Coca-Cola's secret formula and a new product, then emailed Pepsi asking for $100,000 to $1.5 million. Pepsi reported her to the FBI instead, leading to a sting operation, her conviction, and eight years in prison.
Coke versus Pepsi. This woman, Joya Williams, she steals some trade secrets and she writes a letter to Pepsi and she says, I have the formula for Coke and I have a new unreleased product. Guess what her price was? $100 grand. $1 million. $1.5 million. Pepsi, being the good guy that it is, says, you know what? Not doing it. They tell Coke, you have this woman, she's trying to sell you a formula. We don't want it. Me, you, and the FBI, let's take this woman down. They set up a sting operation. They record her saying what she has and that she's doing this trade. She goes to prison for 8 years. Wow. Isn't that crazy? That's a lot. Maybe too much Pepsi. You guys suck.
