That's a big old "citation needed". As far as I'm aware that's a crackpot conspiracy theory - just because some fringe lunatic alleges something is enough to honestly decribe that something as "alleged".
It is not a fringe theory. It is quite mainstream. Boeing is ostensibly "protected from above" due to their military and space contracts, but as we're seeing with Starliner, such contracts are proving to be a liability.

#32That’s terrifying
No it's not. > While Starliner is docked, all the manifolds are closed per normal mission operations preventing helium loss from the tanks, > “We can handle this particular leak if that leak rate were to grow even up to 100 times,”
What you have is a known failing system, with a very high probability of additional failure as soon as it is repressurised and it enters its next stress cycle. Which is normally when these things like to fail.

At least for Boeing, they’ll be benefiting from the fear other potential whistleblowers may have.
But it’s also possible that Boeing don’t know about the deaths because someone else has done it for them. But that’s when we start going down the rabbit hole of suspects from Mossad to the CIA!
Regardless, the big question is: Would they have the stomach to do it if they they could get away with it?
…to ME, that has a very easy answer.
Edit: Why the downvotes? Not rational enough? Or too rational?

It seems unlikely though. He was found in the hotel car park in a locked car with the keyfob in his pocket, a suicide note and a gun he was shot in the head with. He also had a history of mental illness. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13431401/boeing-whi...

#37What would one expect from a company that indirectly allegedly has its own employee murdered for speaking up in favor of basic safety. If they don't care about their own employees, and they don't care about hundreds of passengers, they sure as hell don't care about a few astronauts.

I agree its unlikely, but none of that makes murder less likely / more difficult. Two easy ways to do that: either shoot him and then lock him in the car, or coerce him into suicide via blackmail (threaten to kill his family, threaten to plant child pornography on his property)
The second - if you assume it's on behalf of Boeing could easily backfire if he went to the press with the threats.

The first one isn't easy - drag the body to the car in daylight in the hotel car park? How are you going to lock it with the fob inside? If I was a hitman I'd do something else. The second - if you assume it's on behalf of Boeing could easily backfire if he went to the press with the threats.
I have a normal 2016 car which can do this no problem— maybe it’s impossible with other cars but that would seem very odd to me.
