I know a former pilot and a former aircraft mechanic who got their tickets pinched by the authorities as a result of a faked engine overhaul and subsequent in-flight engine failure in the 80s.

I think that action was appropriate but I would like to know more before I judge the license pinching actions in this case. The action taken only a few days after the incident seems too quick.

Is this really as simple as the crew using PCs and loosing track of time? I suspect there will be more facts that will eventually surface.
