Boeing 737 Max crashes killed 346 people and the company just pleaded guilty to a felony for conspiring to defraud the federal government.

Its punishment:
*0 people go to jail
*Company fined $487 million - 0.6% of its annual revenue

Victims' families summed it up: The plea deal "unfairly makes concessions to Boeing that other criminal defendants would never receive and fails to hold Boeing accountable for the deaths of 346 persons."
