CEO killer is US’ new Anti-hero

New Indian Express  

US thought leaders are struggling to deal with the fallout of the killing of Brian Thompson, CEO of the insurer United Healthcare. The bullet casings left behind on the Manhattan sidewalk where the United Health CEO was shot had ‘Deny’, ‘Defend’ and ‘ Depose’ inscribed on them. Investigators say it is a reference to the 2010 book ‘Delay, Deny, Defend: Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it’. Documents found on Mangione indicate he wanted to get even with the ‘corporate greed’. One week after the murder, Jay Feinman’s 14-year-old book ‘Delay, Deny, Defend’ had shot to the top of Amazon’s insurance law category.
