The U.S. Justice Department plans to propose that Boeing plead guilty to criminal fraud in connection with two deadly plane crashes involving its 737 Max jetliners
Serious question - does that mean that there's even a theoretical chance of some actual living, breathing person (aka Boeing exec) going to jail? Or is this 100% bullshit where the DOJ and the law pretends the company is a "person" but - oopsie - you can't put a company in jail!
If Boeing gets what it wants, which seems likely, then the only people to receive real blame will be the people doing the actual QA despite them just doing what their managers told them to, despite their own wishes.
