Nah. When you have an engineering culture problem, putting people in jail is not going to solve anything. It will scare employees, sure, but it won't fix your culture.

I believe someone at Boeing actually was criminally prosecuted in connection with the earlier MAX 8 problems, but, as in all these situations, it is seriously unlikely that that fixed any actual problems. Most likely, somebody felt they needed a neck to wring and found a convenient scapegoat.
