My pet theory: Some extra dirty psycho at Boeing probably had him killed. Probably to cover up specifics about themselves. It seems pretty clear Boeing is rotting at the head and has been for decades. All these issues that have come up since MAX are the result of deeply systemic problems, stemming from crooked, greedy psychopaths at the top.

But in the interests of being as rational and honest about this as possible, let's also not forget that this article is based on her claim, and she's the only one (so far) to make it. People have been known to seek attention with bullshit. It's evidence, yeah, is it really unimpeachable? Well.....

Think about it like this: if there was a dated and notarized statement in his handwriting saying the same thing that she claims he told her, that would be more trustworthy.

But again, pet theory, some Boeing sicko was covering their own ass by having him Epsteined. Totally plausible.

I don't think this is the last we will be hearing about this.

Amazing how standards of evidence work. I am a Jesus Mythicist and pretty much all we have to "prove" Jesus was real is one guy saying he meet some unnamed person who had a dream. But here we have a direct eyewitness stating what they heard a week ago and that isn't good enough.
