DOJ Plants Gun On Maine
AUGUSTA, ME—In a stunning discovery that linked all 1.4 million residents to a grizzly unsolved cold case, the U.S. Department of Justice escalated its attacks on Maine Friday when it allegedly planted a gun on the state. 'Well, well, well, what do we have here?' U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said as she held up the weapon with a rubber glove, adding that the Beretta 92FS pistol—which had allegedly been used in several high-profile murders, including a recent triple homicide—had the state population's DNA all over it. 'Likely story this isn't yours. I bet if we keep looking, we'll find bullet casings and a body too. And if that happens? Let's just say you all will be going away for a very, very long time.' At press time, Maine's populace had been detained and taken in for questioning after attempting to flee across the Canadian border.

Boeing's $444 Million Gamble: Will One Judge Shatter the Deal That Saves It From Criminal Trial?
Boeing (NYSE:BA) just made a move that could wipe a years-long legal headache off its booksbut only if a federal judge signs off. The company has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. Department of Justice that would let it avoid prosecution for misleading regulators over the 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019. The agreement, revealed in a securities filing, includes $444.5 million in compensation to victims' families and allows Boeing to withdraw its earlier guilty plea. On paper, it looks like a clean break. In reality? It's anything but done. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with BA. That's because the families of the crash victims aren't letting this slide. They've challenged the agreement, arguing it's far too lenient and strips them of their right to a real reckoning. The judge overseeing the case, Reed O'Connor, has already disrupted prior deals over lack of transparency and weak oversight. He's now giving families until June 18 to file formal objections, and the DOJ and Boeing will have just one week to counter. It's a tight windowand a tense one. This legal saga dates back to a deferred prosecution deal from 2021, when Boeing paid $2.5 billion and promised reform. That plan nearly ran its courseuntil January 2024, when a 737 Max door blew off midflight and reignited public and prosecutorial fury. Now, Boeing's shot at resolution depends entirely on one courtroom. If the deal sticks, it could help the company reset its reputation and rebuild investor trust. But if it collapses, Boeing could be staring at a full-blown criminal trialwith all the volatility that brings. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
