The Justice Department told victims’ families that it would propose a nearly $244 million fine and three years of company oversight to settle a fraud charge.

    $244 million fine is what they’re looking at.
    346 people have died on the 737 Max, that means they’re getting fined less than $1m for every life lost.
    This is a joke, Boeing made $2.2bn last year, that’s $6 million a day.
    Thats a little over 1 month of lost wages for killing 346 people.

    I really wish plea deals in which the accused admits no fault were not the norm. If you’re guilty, why would you ever not take it?
