Murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO causes national uproar

Criminals have long utilised manifestos and statements, from letters left at crime scenes and mysterious notes to public speeches, to explain their actions, intimidate or convey their ideas to the world. Some manifestos are chaotic dissertations, while others surprise with their precision and rhetoric. The publicity accompanying such documents can be a weapon that perpetrators are eager to wield. Sometimes, however, it is precisely a letter that holds the key to understanding the motives necessary to comprehend the logic of a given action. Such a document was found with Luigi Mangione, the alleged murderer of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

The creators of the Ken Klippenstein portal have acquired the manifesto of Luigi Mangione, which he allegedly had in his possession at the time of his arrest. The 26-year-old American of Italian descent, suspected of murdering the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, wrote: "To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologise for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming."

Luigi explained his motives: "A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty."

American authorities promised that the person who provides the identity of the CEO murderer of UnitedHealthcare would receive €47,000. However, it turns out that the payout of the reward is not so straightforward. A McDonald's employee, who reported the presence of Luigi Mangione at the restaurant, called a regular emergency number instead of the special contact dedicated to this case. Additionally, the reward disbursement request must be approved by the Secretary of State.

American media explain: "McDonald’s worker might NOT get the $50,000 (€47,000) reward because he called 911 & not the TIP number…. Also the money has to be approved by the Secretary of State."
