I was minding my own business in r/politics and I came upon this.
Emphasis theirs.

Those of us in aerospace know how nonsensical and misinformed that conspiracy is, seeing as his defamation testimony posed exactly 0% threat to Boeing at any level. Because, after all - and contrary to what reading only headlines would have you believe - Mr. Barnett killed himself during his appeal for his rejected defamation lawsuit against Boeing.
Which is notably NOT his whistleblowing testimony which had concluded in 2019. The case had already been litigated, FAA implemented new regulations and the South Carolina 787 factory had to comply with those mandates - FIVE YEARS AGO. Barnett had not worked for seven years and did not even suggest he had “new information” to present.
The only threat Barnett posed to Boeing is in the imagination of Redditors who haven’t bothered to look into it past clickbait headlines.
Again, if they needed him dead to avoid very incriminating facts entering the record, presumably they'd do it before two days of depos.
Dude was sick and spited Boeing on his way out.
I want to know what he said in court. Boeing is the ones who wanted him to stay an extra day. It warrents an investigation.
