That's where this company should end up in any fair world, given all the evidence pointing to intentional misconduct and structural governance issues as a cause for multiple fatal crashes and other serious incidents. Snark aside, this may just be a case of Boeing's numbers being distorted by its business model and airlines paying only on delivery of airplanes (which has been seriously cut back due to regulators imposing production stops and caps as a result of all its issues for years now), but Boeing having to pay their vendors upon receipt of parts.

Besides, anything aviation is a financial accounting shenanigans party. Many airlines, for example, are "loss leaders" - the money actually comes from their "reward programs" and credit cards [1], a practice that's been going on for decades now [2].
