The New Yorker article came out yesterday. I seriously doubt the FAA would have made a rapid-fire action to ground the fleet and get all of the associated legal work finished within 24 hours of publication. The FAA was involved with the launch and has presumably been investigating from the start. The fact that an article on the topic was published yesterday is coincidence.
