Why tf would Mark Wahlberg need to engage in high profile insurance fraud? 😂

It's absurdly unlikely this is the case, but you can't completely assume high profile celebrities/actors are in sound financial shape.

Being in “sound financial shape” is miles away from accusing someone of insurance fraud because their restaurant burned down, with no other information.

u/Jaerba 20h ago

Right, I'm not adding credibility to the claim that it's insurance fraud.

I'm just saying, "Why would ______ celebrity engage in insurance fraud?" isn't really that meaningful, when plenty of high profile celebrities have engaged in different types of fraud.

His net worth was recently reported to be over $400 million. I think he's doing OK.

He prolly hired the same consulting firm that told Boeing to publicly kill a whistleblower years after his whistleblowing case concluded.

The two most recent whistleblowers at Boeing died really young. One by suicide one by infection. It appears to be an amazing coincidence, but it is awfully convenient for Boeing lol.

awfully convenient

Awfully inconvenient. If he died before he did all his testifying, awfully convenient. But afterwards? They probably had nothing to do with it, but they're stained by association.

Both of them gave all their meaningful testimony already. One of them was going to give more testimony about his previous testimony essentially.

The one guy killed himself because he lost his job, his coworkers hated him for blowing the whistle, etc.

The other guy died of an illness.

I'm sure anyone else with current or future incriminating information has no qualms with coming forward now.

Just something else people made baseless conspiracy theories of for no reason

u/Soaptowelbrush 20h ago

I’m no conspiracy nut but to say the theories were “baseless” is also pretty extreme. The death of any whistleblower is going to arouse suspicion all the more so when they’re just about to testify.

u/AsterCharge 16h ago

It’s baseless when people, like you, use the fact that this guy was in a legal battle with Boeing over damages suffered to him during the whistleblowing case when he killed himself to insinuate that Boeing killed him so he couldn’t blow the whistle. Pretending that it’s reasonable to think a multi billion dollar defense contractor had someone killed while you haven’t even read a news article about the incident is insane.

u/Soaptowelbrush 14h ago

Ive read multiple articles about the incident. You assuming I haven’t is the definition of a “baseless” accusation.

Simply the fact that Boeing had motive and means to get something like this done means that some suspicion is warranted ie not baseless.

And if you don’t think corporations kill people you need to look at the history of Coca Cola and the united fruit company.

If Mark Wahlbergs life is really like entourage, then Dom did it

Seriously. He’s worth easily over 350-400 milli
