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.
