I’d think it’s one of Boeings stockholders who had a judge against him speaking out.
I'm in the camp that they did, in fact, hire someone or someone within their organization did to protect their interests in this case. Whether it's from corporate or from just the group of folks that might/would/will be indicted from the whistleblowers testimony. You don't land on 21-black 3 times in a row and say it's luck.
He was suing Boeing for defamation And his claims were that Boeing retaliated against him for being a whistleblower. It might seem like the same thing, but it’s not.
And the instances promoting criminal investigation are related to the 737 probes, not the 787 that he was a whistleblower about. There no evidence his civil case was the impetus for those criminal probes.
Also to say that Foo in Green is in no way connected to Foo in Blue is a farce. 737,777,787, they all share a safety process and protocol. To say he was talking about oranges when the probes are about apples when it’s all about the Grocery Store is absurd. It’s connected. May not be directly connected, but it’s connected. It’s bad management, bad practice, sus circumstances, a coverup on the left and a dead body on the right.
1) The legislature - Law makers have been captured through campaign contributions. In MOST cases a law maker has no say in how they vote, they are told by their campaign managers.
2) The judicial - Similarly judges tend to run for their seat every 4 years. In family court any divorce attorney worth their salt is donating the maximum amount to every judge every time they run. Then when they are in front of the judge in court just a thumbs up and a nod is enough to remind the judge who REALLY got them elected.
3) Corporations are DONE paying taxes and have been for a long time. Successful corporations have figured out how to siphon money from not only their customers but their employees and the federal government as well.
4) The money supply and system in general is fucked beyond repair and anyone willing or able to point that out is going to be on the "kill list".
Not only are the reasons fairly obvious, but the history of that being exactly what happens is pretty compelling evidence that, independently of arguments over its rationality, that is very much a thing people in that situation do.
I mean why would someone who has given up everything to blow the whistle and devoted the past 7 years trying to get something done about it all a sudden kill himself in the middle of a trail and before a potential DOJ criminal investigation?
The man had a mission, why would he do Boeing a favor and kill himself so that he could not testify at a criminal hearing?
Imagine this in a criminal trail he would testify against his direct managers who would then just say “hey, I was told by my boss to tell him to do x” and then it bubbles up the chain to the executives.
You think crazy Jennifer made this up for her 5 minutes of fame?
