Boeing's Sarbox woes continue as whistleblower emerges

Recall that Boeing ended up in some PR hot water when its hometown newspaper ran a long series detailing its Sarbanes-Oxley compliance woes. Rarely does internal activity explode in the media as such. More Sarbox woes have just cropped up in the form of a whistleblower. Nicholas Tides, an IT employee, has alleged in a lawsuit that Boeing was disingenuous in its efforts to comply with the federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reports the Seattle P-I, which broke the big story mentioned above. Tides also charges that Boeing hired PricewaterhouseCoopers, who ended up violating auditing standards. This leak caused Tides to be fired, and he was also a source, one of dozens, for the Seattle P-I's Boeing original coverage.

Boeing Whistleblower, Gerald Eastman, urges employees of industry to write to the incoming Obama/Biden President/Vice President Elect’s offices to request true whistleblower protections are put into place immediately for all whistleblowers, industry employees or government employees.

After all of the pain and trouble Mr. Eastman has had to go through after trying to make his former employer, Boeing, fly straight, and having them target him for destruction, it is good to see he’s really found his voice here. You will want to read it. Here is the link to that specific entry: www.thelastwhistleblower.com
