Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that UHC shares goes up by 32% as claim denial rates by Insurance company after Brian Thompson got clapped by white cyclist.
The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was gunned down this morning in Manhattan. Brian Thompson, 50, was accosted outside of the Hilton Hotel in midtown, and later pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital.
Police say that the killing was a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the shooting a “premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack.” The shooter was captured on camera, and last seen in Central Park. They have not been apprehended. The motive for the murder is unknown, but Thompson’s wife told NBC News that “there were some people that had been threatening him.”
Thompson is the executive vice president and CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a role he was named to in 2021, while Andrew Witty is the CEO of the larger UnitedHealth Group. His killing comes as companies have become increasingly concerned and spending for the security of their top executives, and it could confirm the worst fears in corporate America. More acutely, the targeting of a high-profile executive raises new questions about whether personal security, corporate aircraft travel, and trained defensive drivers should extend to roles beyond the CEO.
