Boeing: "We're Guilty of Conspiring to Defraud"
#4
I wouldn't be too quick to hit the cynicism accelerator here.  Boeing's behavior in this case has been especially "corporate" in the sense that even the public cannot avoid actually noticing what has transpired.  Sometimes the courts can't just play the usual 'big money gets away with anything" game and survive scrutiny.

I suspect that this plea will not be simply 'accepted' because of 'camaraderie' in the club house or on the golf course.  Too much attention has been levied on just how badly their 'focus on safety' has deteriorated since ever since they were bought out.  They've got wheels dropping off, doors popping out, and other mechanical problems all over the place in the news.  And they can't blame technicians when the incidents are so frequent.  "Quality Control" seems to be failing everywhere at the same time.

If they are allowed to get away with white-washing this story behind 'legal contrivance' it will look extremely bad for the courts.  But then, we are just 'little people' and how we feel about this may amount to nothing as far as the courts are concerned... Lord knows 'those dead people' don't matter to Boeing's board and executive leadership.  To them this is just an 'externality' impacting profit... "legal fees" they'll call it in their ledgers.
