    Assuming what he’s saying is true, I still keep coming back to this line:

    “My boss said, ‘I would have killed someone who said what you said in the meeting.’”

    How does someone say something like that? And how is this something that he’s never been called out for?

      Totally unrelatedly a Boeing whistleblower “killed himself” not long ago.

        And his best childhood friend said that he would never do it and warned her if something happens to him it was Boeing out for revenge.

        He literally told a friend shortly before that, if anything happened, it wasn’t suicide:

        Speaking to ABC News 4 Jennifer, who didn’t give a surname and was described by the network as a “close family friend” of Barnett, claimed he told her not to believe any reports of his suicide some time before his death.
        She claimed he insisted “I ain’t scared” before adding “but if anything happens to me it’s not suicide.”

      Even this last line of the article is chilling:

      “It really scares me, believe me,” Salehpour said of being a whistleblower and facing retaliation. “But I am at peace. If something happens to me, I am at peace, because I feel like, coming forward, I will be saving a lot of lives.”
