Wow, that is really scummy behavior!

"Wilson later learned that at least seven of those in attendance for the live presentation were external to Boeing and were, at the time, employees of Wilson’s direct competitors," the lawsuit states. "This fact was concealed from Wilson who was deceived by Boeing and the 'Bogus Boeing Employees' into giving the presentation by falsely suggesting to Wilson that everyone was a Boeing employee."

The complaint alleges that Boeing subsequently used information from this demonstration, as well as proprietary drawings and designs, to work with Wilson's competitors to develop a cheaper solution. "Boeing concealed these facts from Wilson as part of its scheme to defraud Wilson and to transmit Wilson’s IP to its direct competitors," the lawsuit states.

Boeing's decline has been really disappointed and disheartening to see. This seems like another sign of them not being anywhere close to the same company anymore.
