Brian Thompson, 50, was killed in a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack,” police said.

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.

      I have other friends in sports. Tell me how all the hundreds of millions and billions they’ve made is exploitive.

        first off its not my job to analyze every specific thief. But since I have nothing else to do right now: do you think sport stadiums and sport organizations are just like immutable laws of nature? They’re just always there? No, there are legions of people who work to make these events happen, and the athletes steal basically all the money. For crying out loud, the Qatar world cup stadium was built using literal slave labor. All those morally corrupt athletes still played there.

        You have thief billionaire athlete friends (a claim I am dubious of). Well, I have friends who work in the sports industry who are 50 and can’t afford to move out of their parents basement. They are employed full-time and work at least three jobs.

          Ok. Well I can’t understand how you think an athlete is stealing money they’ve signed a contract to receive. Do you think you’re stealing money at your job? Is your 50 year old friend stealing money? At what point are you not stealing money? Who decides what’s theft or what’s not?

            You could pay my friend a livable wage so he could live in his own property for the first time in his life or you could keep the money for yourself. You are entirely dependent on him doing his job for you to earn anything, and you choose to keep the money for yourself. And you truly don’t see how keeping all the money for yourself is stealing his wages? Oh and also there are hundreds of thousands of people in my friends situation, but there’s only like 500 of you.
