The risk/reward analysis goes against assassinating the man. Despite prevailing opinions on executives around here, they're not fucking stupid, especially at the level of one who could order a hit. Even if several were involved for plausible deniability, they would all foresee the circular firing squad in the event murder came to light.

Yup, what would the executives actually lose if they were found guilty in the court case? They'd need to find new jobs, but would give themselves fat severance packages.
Corporations suck ass, but this is nonsense.
Seems like the risk paid off pretty well considering he was testifying about scrap parts in their planes and none of Boeings planes were grounded or inspected as a result.
So what now we like conspiracy theories when they suit us?
Chat,
Did the Boeing whistleblower who deliberately told his family and friends that he wasn't suicidal commit suicide?
Do you actually know anyone suicidal? They usually don't tell people. They often don't know themselves. They changed their mind. They're depressed. They're anxious. They're not well. They die suddenly. Everyone is surprised. That is how it goes.
Not telling people is a heck of a lot different from being about to blow the whistle on a major corporation and telling people "if anything happens to me, it's not suicide".
This did not happen.
Was there ever a credible investigation?
What’s there to investigate? It was just your normal everyday ‘outside a hotel, the day before your witness testimony to expose how a giant government backed multinational corporation is sacrificing people’s lives for profit, suicide’ It happens all the time!
Well shit, that doctor who phrase about the human super power of forgetting rings even true day by day
I suppose once you're responsible for hundreds to thousands of innocent people's deaths, one more kinda fades into the background without much further effect.
I remember thinking how much like Russia it would be to try to damage an American companies reputation, especially one that is providing support for their enemy....
Slow down there, Joseph McCarthy. /s
Not everything fucked up about capitalism can be reasonably pinned on the Russians.
