Luigi Mangione pleads guilty in federal case related to UnitedHealthcare CEO killing
Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty in New York federal court to stalking UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson before killing him on Dec. 4, 2024.
Defenders and former colleagues in his tribe may remember Thompson as a dedicated and relatable corporate leader, but public investigators and critics view his career otherwise. Thompson was no innocent. He was emblematic of a profit-driven healthcare framework where corporate financial growth inhibits patient access to care. A truth which the Thompson tribe refutes with highfalutin bullshit which most college graduates learn to spew if they learn nothing else.
During Thompson's tenure as CEO, UnitedHealthcare's annual profits climbed from roughly $12 billion in 2021 to $16 billion in 2023. Alongside a major increase in the company's stock price.
16 / 12 = 1.33... That is a 33% increase in two years. Does this mean someone did not get their meds??? Or far worse!!!
Thompson was not a nice guy. Thompson was a snake.
