Authorities say she echoed words connected to the murder when she allegedly said "delay, deny, depose, you people are next".

Summary

Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.

Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.

Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.

    I’ve been threatened multiple times in my life. They never explicitly tell me they’ll injure me, they use language like “or else”.

    That’s a threat. We all know that’s a threat. Let’s not pretend otherwise. People making threats these days think they’re being clever by being indirect.

    Trust me, you don’t want to be in a country where stuff like this is normalised, especially by right wingers
