Ok there are conspiracy theories, making claims about things that are unlikely. And then there is the key witness that dies in a parking lot by gunshot wound the day before he is to testify on the case he spent decades building. And then there is his friends who swears that he wouldn’t commit suicide.

Call me crazy all you want, but murder is the most probable theory here.

The money interests are massive. People kill for tens of thousands of dollars. We’re talking millions of dollars here.



The "case" in question is a defamation suit he initiated against Boeing. This has nothing to do with the recent 737 MAX incidents, and the 787 issues he did whistleblow on was litigated to death years ago.


Billions. Its annual profit not revenue is 7.7B a 10% decrease in revenue this decade is worth 7.7B and a 10% decrease in valuation is worth 11B


Yeah a single employee's testimony against an aircraft, the 787, that has safely flying every day since then, does not have that effect. Especially when all of that Barnett testified on years ago.

Boeing does not make $7B from the 787.

If you want to take someone out, make it a 737 MAX whistleblower.


They didn't know who was going to be the 737 MAX whistleblower. The whistleblower might not have known himself.

But the 737 MAX whistleblower was also taken out yesterday.


How could Boeing make sure to limit the amount of whistleblowers on the 737 MAX case? Killing former whistleblowers is a great way to send a message to everyone considering the option right now.
