Nice find rudolfo. Here's something from the Seattle Times I also found interesting.

FAA faulted for outsourcing 787 safety checks to Boeing
The battery woes that have grounded the global fleet of Boeing 787s have raised a persistent question about how the Federal Aviation Administration certified the Dreamliner’s cutting-edge design. The answer: Boeing, not the FAA, largely vouched for the airplane’s safety.

thanks Rudolfo, counterfeit is still not off the table. If it was just cheap parts, it'll still cost Boeing Billions, first in reimbursing the countries that bought for lost flights, and still grounded indefinitely, plus with a indefinite timeline, will become worrisome to any near term purchases. But only knowing tier 1 on supply chain makes it suspect of more than just cheap parts.
