Thompson — who was killed in what police called a targeted shooting outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown — exercised stock options and sold shares worth $15.1 million on Feb. 16, less than two weeks before news of the federal antitrust probe went public, according to a Crain’s New York Business report from April.

...

Earlier this year, UnitedHealth was hit by one of the largest healthcare data breaches in US history, the company estimating as many as one-third of Americans’ private data — potentially including Social Security numbers — were compromised in the ransomware attack.

The company wound up paying the hackers a $22 million ransom...

Insider trading...was he killed by someone against whom he might have credibly testified?

Rumor is that he was offering the DOJ evidence that will lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton in hopes of a lenient plea deal.

Sounds like deflection, from the real motive.

Hmm. I predict the DOJ/FBI/Etc will somehow never get to the bottom of this murder.

Agreed.

The killer stopped at a nearby Starbucks prior to the shooting.

Rode an E-bike to commit the crime.

Hmmm....

This is looking less like an angry wife and more like a scared politician.

I figured it was the wife. After all, one hit-man is cheaper than a pile of legal bills.

Seems to be that in this case, a EBike might have been the way to go. Much easier to get around a city on that than in a car.

“UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was facing DOJ probe for insider trading when he was killed in targeted NYC shooting”

Hell, after seeing what Pelosi and her hubby have engaged in it I can’t believe that caused his death ... oh wait, Member$ of Congre$$ can do that with no repercu$$ion$ but not non government business people.

Evidently the company execs sold their stocks before regular stakeholders knew there was a problem.

It wasn’t a rental. It was a “private” electric bike.

_______________________
Last I heard - about 4 p.m. - they hadn’t found the bike. Go figure how that could be if it had GPS tracking. The bikes don’t just sit around N.Y., they are locked up and you need some sort of access pass/credit card, etc. to unlock the bike.
