Justice served. Now Boeing can rinse and repeat not to mention bail out from tax payers if there is a need to be. So who went to jail for this ? I know that if I steal from Walmart, I will be arrested and possibly get jail time.

Is $1.77 billion enough, when companies had to ground 700 airframes for more than a year, only to reopen during the Covid lockdowns? It feels like it is not 100% served, although justice cases are never 100% satisfying.
