It seems that noted firebrand Mike Daisey's story - the one about the crippled, underaged factory workers who unspooled tales of woe and torture at the hands of their evil Foxconn masters at Apple's behest - was at least partially fabricated. He was outed as, at best, a bad journalist and at worst a fraud. To be clear, he's a monologist and playwright and had no business telling this story (just as he really had no business telling Amazon's story way back when) but he, like so many creatives, riffed on science and technology for popular effect and got both drastically wrong.
