"Former" Whistleblower?

It's not easy being a whistleblower. It's very hard to get hired for anything ever again, because no company wants to be next, and they don't consider just behaving as an option.
But I don't buy this. Not when Boeing is imploding before all our eyes. This man was going to have the entire public on his side, and at this point I don't think Boeing could even bribe a journalist to smear him. He was absolutely going to win this.

You can’t blow whistles if you’re no longer breathing.
Already retired. So they really didn't have much to threaten him with.
But if they're not seen giving him some kind of hell, the next would-be whistleblower won't be intimidated as easily.
I dunno, should it? There's no pro Boeing party right now, is there?
I used to think the 747 was cool, but the A380 is way cooler.
I recall seeing that he had recently testified and was slated to do so again.

I really don't see politics here. I don't know who Boeing wants to be President. I am always skeptical about insinuations that people or businesses had people murdered, but even if they did, murdering people isn't politics.
Putin having someone murdered is politics because it was done for political reasons. If Boeing had this guy murdered, it was to prevent lawsuits or criminal prosecution, not to influence public policy or elections.

FORMER brother, you mean.
Boeing spent nearly 15 million on lobbyists last year not to mention it's close ties to the US military and NASA. This isn't Bob the butcher killing one of his employees because said employee called the health inspector reporting he was selling meat past it's expiration date.
I'd say if someone starts standing up for Boeing wit an opposing viewpoint and things get heated, then maybe move it to P&R. Things seem civil so far.
This is the first I've heard about it personally. I try to watch as little news as possible aside from the forecast. I just hate politics. So I don't know what this whistle blower said about Boeing. But deaths with suspicious timing are always suspicious. Not that suspicion alone proves anything. But it deserves a second glance at least.

Not to make light of a situation, but I seriously think the first step for anyone becoming a whistleblower needs to be publicly proving "I am not suicidal nor am I on any illegal drugs nor do I drink heavily. If I wind up dead before I can testify, rest assured I was murdered."
