That there is nothing more to this conspiracy theory other than "someone with a previous whistleblower case against Boeing died, ergo Boeing killed him".

Correct, your mistake is assuming you need more than that to find the theory plausible. The types of people who stand to lose big from a company like Boeing going down would sell their own grandmothers for $5. At best you’re naive about how the world works.

Nice to see the logic laid out so plainly. Thanks!
