Business executives, health insurance industry employees and law enforcement officers have reported facing threats and harassment following the capture this week of the man charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The attorney for the suspect, Luigi Mangione, 26, an Ivy League graduate, has said Mangione intends to plead not guilty to all charges.
Social media posts Wednesday showed images of “wanted” posters put up in Manhattan that featured photos of the CEOs of at least two health insurance companies.
One of the companies named in the posters declined to comment, while the other did not respond to a request.
“I had another one say, ‘This is why y’all’s CEO was shot, and if you’re not careful, you’re going to be next,’” the employee said.
