ITT: The equivalent of Trump supporters confusing the fact that they are suspicious that the election was stolen, with actually knowing so.
Well, Boeing is demonstrably willing, even determined, to choose financial short term gain over any amount of human lives or reputation loss. It would be shocking if it was truly an accident that saved Boeing from a second day of testimony right when everything is starting to really fall apart for them, right?
Notice how you haven't offered up any evidence. Just motivation to kill him (even that's tenuous at best).
You know what Trump supporters often argue? That the "deep state" had motive to stop Trump from becoming POTUS, which is what makes their claims reasonable.
In this case, you're acting just like them.

I'm not going to say that Boeing had this guy directly killed, but I can certainly see them and their legal team explicitly trying to make his life as hellish as possible until he felt that he only had one way out. Legal threats if you stop proceeding with your case, legals threats if you don't, they want a terrible warning for any other whistleblowers.
Isn't that exactly what happened to Aaron Schwartz? Not a whistleblower, but similar tactics

This is "falling out of a window or down an elevator shaft in Russia"-level blatant.
This appears very loud and clear to any other potential whistle-blowers.
