Justice Department says Boeing violated deal that avoided prosecution after 737 Max crashes
The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft.
So are we gonna see a CEO and some executives on death row? 346 death sentences, to be served sequentially, in case one of those vampires gets back up.
Not just current, everyone involved since bad decisions started. That's like 3 CEOs, the entire board, and plenty of horrifying sociopaths
Edit: second degree murder since they pillaged 60+ billion from company funds in the process
I'd imagine some DOJ personnel dying under suspicious circumstances is more likely
Unlimited genocide upon CEO's.
Nope... I'd be surprised if they are made to pay a fine
Consequences for capitalists? How very Chinese of you.
Are you some sort of anti-America commie?
Imagine if your average thief or worker accused of misconduct could say "let's see whether the US Department of Justice wants to charge me" to avoid material consequences.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Boeing has violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, the Justice Department told a federal judge on Tuesday.
It is now up to the Justice Department to decide whether to file charges against the aircraft maker amid increasing scrutiny over the safety of its planes.
Boeing reached a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department in January 2021 to avoid prosecution on a single charge of fraud – misleading regulators who approved the 737 Max.
The manufacturing giant came under renewed scrutiny since a door-plug panel blew off a 737 Max jetliner during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
The determination means that Boeing could be prosecuted “for any federal criminal violation of which the United States has knowledge,” including the charge of fraud that the company hoped to avoid with the $2.5 billion settlement, the Justice Department said.
After secret negotiations, the government agreed not to prosecute Boeing on a charge of defrauding the United States by deceiving regulators who approved the plane.

In capitalist America, they let planes fall apart in the sky and then give those companies who made them a small little fine.
