Boeing plead guilty
Serious question - does that mean that there’s even a theoretical chance of some actual living, breathing person (aka Boeing exec) going to jail? Or is this 100% bullshit where the DOJ and the law pretends the company is a “person” but - oopsie - you can’t put a company in jail!
The deal would include a monitor to oversee Boeing — but the company would put forward three nominees and have the Justice Department pick one, or ask Boeing for additional names.
toothless garbage. i only skimmed this but I didn’t even see any mention about a fine being part of this so they dont even get the traditional slap on the wrist non-punishment.
Ah yes, now cometh the scapegoat.
The U.S. Justice Department plans to propose that Boeing plead guilty to criminal fraud in connection with two dead

This almost had something to do with the whistleblowers they assassinated
“Please will you plead guilty to our case? That’s OK if not. Here’s a fine worth 0.000001% of your annual profit.”
I think they’re realizing they need to clean house cause China is now starting to produce their own domestic wide body passenger jets. If Boeing reputation keeps deteriorating, then US will quickly lose the global market to China. It’s probably still going to happen, but I expect this is why they want Boeing to shape up.
Boeing has already lost the global market to Airbus. The competition with Comac will be for second place.
More evidence for the theory that winning the cold war was the worst thing that could have happened to
