One death is coincidental, two is suspicious, any more and it’s gonna become plainly obvious, and now there’s 10. That’s just delicious. They can’t silence them all.

The first wasn't coincidental. He said "hey they might murder me" then he died right before testifying.

Well, iirc he didn’t show for his deposition, or the day after, or the day after that, at which point the lawyers sent people to find him and found he “committed suicide”.

This is after he said “I am absolutely not going to commit suicide over this. If I die and people say it was suicide, I was killed.”

Even one death under these circumstances is not a coincidence, and that ought to be coded into law. You'd better fucking well hope the person who blows a whistle on you is healthy - that's the world we should move towards. Not that that couldn't also be abused, but the pendulum is way too fucking far this way.

Can't or won't?

Seriously, though, I wouldn't be surprised, if a bunch of suicides or "retractions" are happening soon.

How about 2 million if you shut up? No? How about we publish this dirt on you? Would be a shame, if some nameless robber orphans your children.

Any serious issue should have a paper trail of some sort. Emails, meetings, part rejections, that sort of thing. There are processes in place to allow anonymous reporting of some of these things.

But you wont argue that 10 dead whistblowers can still be a tremendous coincidence, right?
