• losing track of a perp in fucking Manhattan
  • the other pic of the perp (with mask up) looks totally different, diff eyebrows, diff backpack, has coat hoodie up instead of sweater hoodie
  • dude was just casually outside of McDs in broad daylight while on the run (not innawoods? not moving in the evening?)
  • shooter is rich and his family owns a line of retirement homes
  • Brian Thompson is a new start, was never CEO of anything before 2021 (father was a grain elevator worker)
  • Brian Thompson is also excluded from the past Wikipedia pages of UnitedHealthCare, (apparently not important enough to mention?)
  • The only consistent CEO on said pages is Andrew Witty (still CEO now, and was CEO from 2021 along with Brian)
  • Andrew Witty also served as CEO of GlaxoSmithKline from 2008-2017, showing a decade of full experience
  • Witty was management trainee when he was 19yo, was appointed president of GSK europe in 2003 (at 39 yo), and advised Prime Minister David Cameron 2010-2015. A very experienced fellow!
  • UHC’s profits were 17B in 2021 and 21B in 2022. Brian Thompson was getting a salary of only 10M per year from 2021-24. This seems like a pretty low profit:CEO wage ratio, but more analysis is necessary
  • there was some embezzlement thing where Brian defrauded 17M, Steven Hemsley (executive chariman) defrauded 102M, and Witty defrauded a few million. Brian was set to testify soon. Hemsley took home almost all of the money.
  • how did the shooter even know where to find Brian?

    Because they would probably have some sort of security. I do find it weird that the CEO of a healthcare company who got deaththreats on the reg didn’t have a bodyguard.
