"sending a message to everyone else" - is a pretty big incentive.

Think about Boeing's whistleblowers.

Even if they do not kill them directly, they bury them under so much legal fees that they are financially ruined for life, their career broken and through clandestine PR operations destroy even their social life and public image to make an example of them.

Yep. Even a tiny fraction of a trillion dollars is a hell of an incentive for people of too little moral conviction.

The only Boeing whistleblower I know of is the one that is dead.

Would that be Joshua Dean or John Barnett?

[BadHumans → stonogo]

John Barnett I believe. The one who showed up dead outside a hotel.

Extra suspicious because his plan was to drive home that night to his family. The other side convinced him to stay for one more day of hearing, if I recall. And that night he stayed he mysteriously died.

the one who killed himself in his locked vehicle on surveillance cameras outside of the hotel he was staying at

[SlightlyLeftPad → BadHumans]

Well yeah. The point is as that there are currently two recent whistleblowers in regards to Boeing. Both of them are dead.
