Lanceur d'Alerte - Summary

Summary

The dialogue revolves around a group of people, primarily Léo and his friends, who stumble upon a conspiracy involving the French multinational company PETROLEF and its CEO, Patrick de Marest. They discover that PETROLEF is exploiting Libya's oil and sharing it with the Americans, and they decide to expose this information.

Léo and his friends try to contact a reporter to leak the story, but the reporter is hesitant due to the risks and anti-whistleblower laws. They then decide to take matters into their own hands and use WikiLeaks or other means to publish the information.

However, they are being watched by PETROLEF's agents, who try to stop them from leaking the information. Léo's friends are caught, and he is forced to go into hiding. He comes up with a plan to use the CEO's social media account to publish the information, and he enlists the help of a friend to hack into the CEO's computer.

As the story unfolds, Léo's actions become more desperate, and he is willing to risk everything to expose the truth. The dialogue ends with Léo facing off against PETROLEF's agents, who try to intimidate him into deleting the tweet and abandoning his efforts to expose the company.
