Sending someone to jail will not lead to the demise of Boeing. But it would be a strong signal for the future. If it affects the right person. If they sacrifice a poor entry level Engineer/designer that would be counter- productive -although sadly not unlikely.
Having another MAX crash the same way or doing similar stupid things with the 777X in contrast would rather be a pretty sure way to send Boeing to the wall.
FAA helped the Executives and their Bonuses with that lax oversight. They didn't help the Company in the longer Term. It will be the workers who will take the hit for this (certification) disaster.
