UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in targeted attack: cops - Just Part and Parcel of visiting a Big City

[The Crescent King]

United Healthcare subsidiary OptumRX, a pharmacy benefit manager, is being sued by the family of a 22 year old man who died of a severe asthma attack after he was unable to afford the 500 dollar cost of the inhaler once his insurance stopped covering it. The article has a lot of sad details; the family allege that OptumRX didn't follow the law by providing Cole with a 30 day notice as to his medication's unavailability, and the Walgreens staff didn't try to help him in any way in obtaining his inhaler.

A bit off-topic but there was a senior VP in the UK who got the same fate then Brian Thompson have.

“Kilonzi” sounds like how a ghetto black would order a calzone in an Italian restaurant. “Gimme one kilonzi, some fettucheen, and a fuckasha.”
But in fact Marianne Kilonzi was a rotund black woman who was senior VP of Citibank in the U.K. Two weeks ago she was brutally assassinated, and for some strange reason leftists aren’t cheering this one like they did that Luigi guy who offed the healthcare exec in NYC.
Maybe there is some value in corporate affirmative action after all; a black board of directors will ensure that insane leftists don’t cheer their demise.

It'd be pretty funny if fat greek retard Taki Theodoracopulos was raped to death by a pack of niggers.

She did not get the same fate. Luigi meant to make a statement with this kill, with the words on the bullets and Monopoly money. This woman was beaten to death by someone who knows her (as is so far determined by police) and there’s no political message. This is just some fag trying to use a woman’s unrelated murder to…I don’t even know. Why do people ride for billionaires so hard? Billionaires don’t care about you.

An interesting news article that I came across regarding my state.
https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/h...ices/275-fcb3b14b-78b4-4773-8436-eeadd4a1f417

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey has fined UnitedHealthcare $3.4 million for violations in claims handling practices involving balance billing, the state Department of Insurance announced last week.

The fine stems from a four-year investigation that revealed UnitedHealthcare failed to protect members from unexpected out-of-network charges, particularly in emergency room and anesthesia services.

Investigators found the insurer did not consistently follow its own procedures to negotiate with providers and prevent members from bearing excessive financial burdens. The investigation began after sustained complaints from members and health care providers.

“Patients receiving emergency room services certainly don’t have the time or capacity to go through a checklist and make sure all providers attending them are in-network,” Commissioner Causey said. “UnitedHealthcare’s practices potentially put unnecessary financial burdens on many North Carolinians. I am happy to see that UnitedHealthcare has agreed to take corrective action.”

Specific violations included subjecting members to cost-sharing beyond standard deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for medically necessary services performed by out-of-network providers at in-network facilities.

The report found that when members filed grievances, UnitedHealthcare often denied their complaints without attempting to help members avoid additional charges. The DOI report found that UnitedHealthcare would at times respond with an adverse decision letter saying, “You are responsible for all costs related to this service,” or “You may be responsible for paying the difference between what the facility or provider billed and what was paid.”

While UnitedHealthcare accepted the final report and voluntary settlement agreement, the company expressly denied violating any statutes or regulations.

As part of the settlement, the insurer must submit a corrective action plan to the Department of Insurance and agree to future compliance examinations. The $3.4 million fine will be distributed to public schools, as required by the North Carolina Constitution.

The results of the investigation come two months after the insurer's CEO was gunned down outside of a Manhattan hotel. Luigi Mangione, 26, has since been arrested and charged in the killing. In December 2024, Mangione pleaded not guilty to state murder and terror charges, in a case that will run parallel to his federal prosecution.

 

[The Crescent King]

According to this Xitter account Luigi's hearing on the 24th won't be livestreamed.



That leaves the hearing on the 21st as the only potential moment to see our boy this month.

Furthermore, a continuance as to the grand jury indictment in the federal case has been granted, extended to March 19th. The original date was this coming Monday, February 17th.

Side note, I do hope MSM or the parasocial loons following this case don't find out and start writing articles or joining the farms. Null would have to lock us down again if a journoscum wrote something like "CEO Killer plays chess with transphobic Internet forum".

Whoa whoa whoa…slow down a minute.

Are you sure you want to give the MSM ammo to write a story like that about us? If you want to play chess with him, go ahead and start a correspondence, but I don’t think you should rope the whole site into it. This is your idea for how you want to support Luigi, not ours. You don’t speak for KF and Josh never appointed you our representative.

Let’s not needlessly bring even more heat on the site. At least you were smart enough to not name us. I don’t mean to overreact here but IMO a little paranoia is healthy considering what we’ve already been through.

I have been thinking about this recently. Would Luigi Mangione have so many supporters if he were a fat neckbeard?

The answer is always going to be no.

No, he wouldn't. I think a lot of people would admire the sentiment behind the shooting, but all of the parasocial stuff/fanfiction wouldn't exist. There probably would be a lot more emphasis on the issues with the healthcare industry as opposed to the shooter himself, beyond necessary biographical details.

First of all, if you read the thread it wasn't my idea specifically. It was suggested by @ToEnsureVerification, I thought it was great idea, so I wrote to him. Nobody in the thread objected at the time (nor did any moderator), and since I haven't received a reply yet it's all up in the air. However, as noted by @ToEnsureVerification if it was going to be done, we would make an official thread with moderator permission. I never intended to "speak for KF" - it was only an idea and any details were to be ironed out later. We don't even know if Luigi would consent to the idea, because if he didn't the games wouldn't go forward. Anyways, if in the event Luigi does reply and agrees but Null/another mod says no for any reason, then the games won't proceed and everything will be business as usual. I'm not sure why the idea has bothered you so much.

Double posting but for a good reason. Karen's law firm have created a website dedicated to Luigi's case.

Newsweek is reporting donors are asking for their money back from GiveSendGo

The fundraiser successfully raised $290,000 for Mangione's defence which has been passed on to his lawyers.

https://www.aol.com/luigi-mangione-accepts-300k-sick-162214966.html

"Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support. My client plans on utilizing it to fight all three of the unprecedented cases against him," Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione's lead defense attorney, said in a Monday statement, according to the December 4 Legal Committee, which created the fund.

It looks like the publicity from that has caused renewed publicity and fundraising. $40k more in the last day and a half

The fanatical sexualization would be greatly diminished but support would still be there, at this point not as loud but still present. Remember most people have an axe to grind with the health insurance sector, lionization of Luigi was inevitable regardless of physical appearance. The only way support would have been muted is if Luigi had a peace windmill tattooed on him or if it was a simple mugging turned murder.

However regardless some deranged women would have a metaphorical or literal shrine to Luigi for merking the subhuman, fucking Elliott Rogers got a few post mortem worshipers.

 

[Terrorist]

I'm not sure why the idea has bothered you so much.

I’m just encouraging caution is all. You seem to have thought this through pretty well, so I’m not really worried (who knows if Luigi will even reply given the sheer volume of letters he receives). Again I didn’t mean to overreact but events over the past few years have conditioned me to be wary of anything that might bring our community heat, and corresponding in a friendly way with the imprisoned subject of a high-profile murder case seems to me like something that could.

Fun fact: once Cambridge University and Bethlem Royal Hospital (Bedlam) played correspondence chess.

Cambridge resigned in 25 moves, having been thoroughly trounced.

I think they difference would just be that there would've be less horny post and more hero posting. I don't think he would have less supporters if he was unattractive. Just wouldn't be as loud and horny

 

[neger psykolog]

No, he wouldn't. I think a lot of people would admire the sentiment behind the shooting, but all of the parasocial stuff/fanfiction wouldn't exist. There probably would be a lot more emphasis on the issues with the healthcare industry as opposed to the shooter himself, beyond necessary biographical details.

That's possible...
I mean even if Luigi as a person completely got away with it, he left enough shadows for people to conjure up ideas and fantasies of who he was (even if you ignore the flirty/smiling face pic) sort of like Zorro/Robin Hood or some shit.

With or without Luigi I think "the man in the shadows" would've still become a folk hero and people would've come up with conspiracy theories trying to say someone was him or created artistic depictions of who he was. It is very similar to how Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of Bitcoin who has never definitively been identified) has all sorts of people who have either tried to figure out who he is, fantasize about who he is (perhaps not in such a sexual way) or create imaginative portraits of who he is or what he represents.

In that context - it is somewhat unfortunate that Luigi got identified and perhaps his message may have been stronger had he successfully disappeared. It is one of the qualities that people assign to Bitcoin/Satoshi Nakamoto - while I am sure some people reading this will shake their head at me bringing it up as a comparison, Satoshi was so successful at being anonymous that he effectively gave Bitcoin (which was technically a part of the anti-Wall Street movement) an immaculate conception and thus whatever his/her/their personal politics were, they were never used to try and adulterate or influence what the idea of Bitcoin was.

In the same way, the moment Luigi got "phonebooked" people found out who he followed and who he was and tried to use that to paint a picture to tell a story of why he did what he did instead of just looking at the action. It's sort of like missing the forest for the trees and Luigi's perhaps unintentional celebrity/fame can either strengthen the ideological message/action he was doing or weaken it (depending on the individual's perspective).

It's an interesting question though: would this all have been a much stronger "movement" if Luigi was never identified in the first place? Has his celebrity unintentionally distracted the message that he was trying to send?... or does him having 238 million gay guys and hot chicks fantasizing about him because he is attractive actually end up helping to strengthen the message that he was trying to send?

"The real shooter appears taller and lankier of Nordic or slavic descent with white skin and a pink hue to it. Whereas Luigi from Mario bros is a typical tanned wop with a greasy black mop top and bushy ass black unibrow."

"Yeah the dude in the actual assassination footage has pink skin like an eastern European or Anglo and the guy they busted in Altoona, Pennsylvania has olive skin like a Mediterranean."

"The kid from the hostel and from the taxi is Luigi. The guy who shot the CEO is not Luigi. Luigi was wearing a different outfit, has a different skin tone, different size and build, different eyebrows, and different eye color from the shooter."

"Olive skin does not become pink based on camera differences. Nose bridge width does not change based on camera differences. Thick bushy hair does not disappear completely based on camera differences."

“Autist with 10000+ hours on lookism forums here. It’s not the same guy. The periorbital countour, nasal bridge and brows are completely different. Also the shooter is fair-skinned with cool, pink undertones. You have to be retarded to think that Luigis face would look like this in any capacity even with concelmeant on. Shooters skull structure is of a progressive northern aurignacid type (North Atlantid, North Pontid, Nordid, East Nordid etc or Keltid/Dinarid influences), none of which Luigi remotely resemble.”
