What is?

No, just significantly less likely than the other going theories.
Note that I wouldn’t put it past Boeing (or actually, more likely, a Boeing investor) to kill. But without any evidence I’d refrain to make such accusations.
- marginalia_nu 2y ago> No, just significantly less likely than the other going theories. The likelihood of the explanation needs to be balanced with the unlikelihood of the two already unlikely events happening independently of each other. When you're seeing statistically unlikely events, it's downright reasonable to examine whether the game is rigged somehow. One whistleblower dropping dead is curious timing, but ultimately plausible; it's a stressful situation after all. Two of them drop dead? While it's not established beyond reasonable doubt based on the unlieky timing and strong motive alone, some sort of conspiracy to retaliate against the whistleblowers is definitely one of the less far fetched theories. Weird and oddly personal criminal behavior is something that happens in the corporate world[1] [1] https://www.cbsnews.com/news/investigation-ebay-employees-stalk-harass-couple-60-minutes-transcript-2023-03-26/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/investigation-ebay-employees-st...
