The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, prosecutors told a federal judge on Tuesday. 

It is now up to the Justice Department to weigh whether to file charges against the aircraft maker. Prosecutors will tell the court no later than July 7 how they plan to proceed, the Justice Department said. 

Boeing failed to make changes to prevent it from violating federal anti-fraud laws — a condition of the the 2021 settlement, Glenn Leon, the head of the fraud section of the Justice Department’s criminal division said in a letter.

What’s the remedy here? Will they break up Boeing? Or just let it spiral out of business?

You would have to nationalize Congress first

This is both, funny, sad and a brutal acknowledgement of our democracy's termination.

Give it to me!

I'm not an American citizen, therefore I will operate it with perfect safety and fairness with no consideration of profits.

Though I might siphon off some of the company's profits to fund the communist revolution in Antarctica, so there is that trade off.
