 Why would they do that? And, of course, Boeing spent about a nanosecond accepting the deal, which called for Boeing to admit guilt in fraud and then to pay a fine of about $243 million. Let's put that in perspective. That's roughly the equivalent of the retail cost of two of their jets, otherwise known as the cost of doing business, and then agreeing to go on probation for three years. So what essentially happened is, in this deal, the DOJ allowed Boeing to go on probation for violating probation.
