Default Boeing B-767 Tanker case "Virtual Kryptonite"

" ".......... this is a case of where's there's a smell of corruption
and special treatment for one company. In terms of its scale, it's
become virtual kryptonite for anyone associated with the tanker deal."

The inspector general is already investigating several aspects of the
tanker deal, including whether a former Air Force official, Darleen
Druyun, improperly shared a rival's proprietary data with Boeing, and
whether she properly recused herself before negotiating with Boeing
about a job.

Boeing last month fired Druyun and Chief Financial Officer Michael
Sears after concluding they discussed a job while Druyun was still
overseeing the tanker deal, and then tried to cover it up. Boeing
Chairman Phil Condit resigned last week."

And the space / missile program as well - stole intellectual property.
That was about mid year.
