A former Boeing employee, who was found dead in March, accused the company of “countless” violations of US law in testimony given just before his death.
John Barnett claimed the firm tried to “eliminate” quality inspections at a plant that makes 787 planes.
The former quality control manager had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer.
The transcript of Mr Barnett’s deposition has now been released by his lawyers. The lengthy document runs to more than 140 pages.
The bulk of Mr Barnett’s deposition focuses on the period from 2010 onwards, after he had moved from Boeing’s facility in Everett, Washington to what was then a brand-new factory in North Charleston.
What is the motive? and exactly who cares when money can make this go away? But no, murder will make everyone not care, really? This is absolutely silly.
Why are you acting like this is some impossible mystery that we’ll never understand? The motive is either “silencing him so he can’t reveal more”, “intimidating other potential whistleblowers”, or a combination of both. Is this some grand revelation to you, or are you deliberately acting like you’ve been dropped on your head every day since birth?
Yeah, we’re actively seeing how money has made all of Boeing’s problems go away. No investigations are happening, there could not be any issues if further whistleblowers step forward 🙄
Again, think about the motives for more than half a second, and you’ll see that the idea isn’t to “make everyone not care”.
No need for personal attacks. You did not answer the question. What is the motive? You describe actions that can be taken, but to what end? More money? More power? Simply a fuck you? Worried they are culpable and might go to jail?
Now tell me exactly WHO this person is, or are you suggesting that is a group of people? Board of Directors? The more people who know the more people will need hush money, the more complicated it gets.
And for what? Nobody is going to lose money, nobody is going to jail. Not if there are more whistleblowers, not if their are fines, nothing. The company will bear the weight of the problem, the government will socialize the solution to fix the problem, and the people with money will walk away or somehow get wealthier in the process.
So excuse me for thinking a bit critically about this conspiracy.
Unlike you, Not everyone is for sale.
So you agree with me? Or did someone name a price to whack this guy, so they were for sale…
