Summary

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown before speaking at an investor conference.

The gunman, still at large, fired multiple times, leaving shell casings marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.”

Authorities suggest Thompson was targeted but remain unclear on the motive. His wife confirmed prior threats against him.

Analysts speculate a possible vendetta tied to his company. The case raises questions about executive security, as Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks.

    This is the part that keeps running through my mind.

    The motherfucker ain’t stupid. He knows that as the CEO of an insurance company he is bound to be hated by lots of people, and yet he chooses to go without Private Security? Bruh. All those fucking dollars, couldn’t spare some to increase his chance of survival eh?

    Did the almighty dollar cloud his thoughts so much he thought he couldn’t die no more? He thought he was above the rules of the physical plane? Dude thought he was gonna re-sleeve like Altered Carbon
