Prior to his death, whistleblower John Barnett was testifying against Boeing over concerns about standards.

I know this might sound naive, buy why don’t more whistleblowers get “all their ducks in a row” before coming out by recording absolutely everything and mailing it out in triplicate to random (or carefully chosen) third parties with some sort pf deadman switch? And announcing they’ve done so only after it’s all in place? If one knows one’s life might be at risk, make sure the bastards are exposed, no matter what happens.

How would that have prevented him killing hinsekf, which is what appears to have happened here.

Having been involved in some very minor whistleblowing it can be incredibly stressful and depressing

From what I have read, this person has been blowing the whistle for multiple years. Something changed, recently. Not good. Not cool. It is sad.

This does not surprise me at all. What will surprise me is if any arrests are made.

Here I was naively thinking Michael Clayton was fiction.
