    It was the right time to ensure the right stock price at the right time.

    An enormous company like Boeing always has myriad legal things going on. There’s always a little litigious jitter in their stock price.

    Everything Swampy knew, the big cheeses did too and more. Statements entering the courts’ records makes them more difficult to casually dismiss. Evidence of top echelon mismanagement becomes a problem, a stock price problem.

      Being a bit cynical, him dying at this moment exactly means they are going to such lengths to protect that stock price. It may actually affect it positively.
