Health Care is in the news.  That is good and now I hope the shooter gets away.  United Health care likely killed a family member but that is only a theory.  United Health Care denies one third of claims.  More than anyone other company.  But Brian Thompson was a POS for other reasons.

Brian Thompson: UnitedHealthcare CEO Was Facing Investigation and Was Allegedly Involved in Insider Trading When He Was Shot and Killed.

Last year, the DoJ launched an investigation into whether the UnitedHealthcare, under Thompson's leadership, was unfairly limiting competition and operating as a monopoly. In May, the City of Hollywood Firefighters' Pension Fund filed a lawsuit against Thompson and other UnitedHealth executives, alleging that the CEO hid information about a federal investigation before selling over 31 percent of his shares, earning $15.1 million.

The complaint mentioned that Thompson and other company leaders sold more than $117 million worth of UnitedHealth stock over a four-month period while they were aware of the federal antitrust probe. However, the development has not yet been made public.

In October, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the largest public pension fund in the U.S., joined the lawsuit and filed an amended complaint seeking a jury trial against Thompson and other executives.

In February, The Wall Street Journal revealed that federal investigators had been interviewing individuals from the healthcare sector where UnitedHealth operates.

The inquiries focused on the relationships between UnitedHealthcare, the company's insurance division, and its Optum health services branch, which manages physician groups and other assets.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that the Department of Justice was investigating UnitedHealth's Medicare billing practices. The investigation aimed to determine whether physicians were exaggerating patient illnesses to improperly boost government payments.









Hit man or hero?  Right now we don't know.  Hero is going too far for me, but it sounds good.  Modern mythology has rhymes which seem to fit.
