Whitaker served as a U.S. attorney in Iowa from 2004 until 2009, but much of his notoriety owes to work he did from 2014 until 2017 for a company called “World Patent Marketing.”

Whitaker acted as a World Patent Marketing “adviser” and once told a dissatisfied customer that there could be “criminal consequences” for him if he complained about the company online, but was never charged with any personal wrongdoing in relation to the case.

As was widely noted at the time of Whitaker’s DOJ appointment, the 2014 World Patent Marketing press release that announced his affiliation with the company also announced that it would be marketing a so-called “masculine toilet” that was designed for men with larger-than-usual penises.

A press release, various marketing materials and the prologue of Capt Sir Tom’s memoir stated that the books would be used to support the foundation.

Some say they're too limited, while others believe they're more of a marketing ploy to attract investors.
