Boeing's $1.1 billion settlement with the DOJ over 737 Max fraud charges angers crash victims' families, who call the deal unprecedented and unjust.

But Boeing has largely avoided criminal prosecution. Boeing reached a deal with the Justice Department regarding its criminal investigation in January 2021 and was placed on corporate probation.

Boeing previously agreed to plead guilty to charges that employees lied to air safety regulators before the crashes, also agreeing to pay $2.5 billion to resolve the criminal investigation.

President Trump’s Justice Department is weighing whether to let Boeing (BA) out of a criminal trial and guilty plea surrounding two fatal 737 Max 8 crashes, and some family members of the crash victims are not happy about it.

The U.S. Department of Justice's indication that it might drop charges against Boeing is a bitter pill for crash victims' families and the flying public.
