There is nothing similar between this guy and Boeing. Boeing hid development issues and cheated (oversimplified) with certification. They tried to blame other parties, pilots and airlines, for those life losses. That is despicable. But they did not intentionally crash a plane, and try to hide it. They did not intentionally build an unsafe aircraft with the goal of killing people.
That guy planned a plane crash for social media likes, and tried to cover it up. Actively.
Those two cases are nothing a like, not even remotely.
