John F. Good
John Francis Good (June 17, 1936 – September 28, 2016) was an American agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who created the Abscam sting operation in the late 1970s and early 1980s which led to the arrest and conviction of several elected officials at the local, state and federal level, including Mayor of Camden, New Jersey Angelo Errichetti and U.S. Senator Harrison Williams, using a fictional Arab sheikh seeking political favors as bait. A Hollywood version of the events were depicted in the 2013 film American Hustle; in the movie, Bradley Cooper portrayed a composite character that was based on Good and two other FBI agents who worked on the case during the two-year-long operation.
