This is a sign that there are extremely right safety standards and lots of oversight. The amount of documentation needed for all aerospace parts means it is quite difficult to falsify records for long without getting caught. The fact that any of these types of event are big news and often result in arrests should help you be confident that the standards are real and enforced. There will always be bad actors, and finding them like this is part of reality. Just look at the safety record of commercial aviation to see proof that the system is working.
Enshitification continues. For awhile there I thought aviation was the safest industry, due to standards.
Clearly there are no standards anymore and it’s just another industry that’s rotting away thanks to greed and a severe lack of empathy.
I guess I’ll start reconsidering commercial flying.

Slowly. That’s how.
Finished parts are much harder to verify without damaging them or the finish. We do get training on identifying counterfeits, though.
Planes are still highly over-engineered.
I mean, did everyone suddenly forgot about everything that happened with the 737 Max?
Both the FAA and Boeing should be ashamed.
Well, the standards are still there, but if people don’t adhere to them, profits happen, so they gladly take some … mishaps into their calculation.
