UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was accused of insider trading and fraud by tghe Department of Justice before he was assassinated on Wednesday in Manhattan.
Thompson, 50, was shot dead in what NYPD officials believe was a targeted attack as he exited the Hilton hotel before an investor conference. His killer remains on the loose.
Last year the DoJ launched a probe into whether the nation's biggest insurer, led by Thompson, was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly.
The DoJ then filed a lawsuit in October naming Thompson and other executives, accusing the CEO of failing to tell investors about the federal probe before he unloaded over 31 percent of his stock, taking in $15.1 million in proceeds.
In legal documents, investigators said that Thompson and other company execs sold over $117 million worth of UnitedHealth common stock during the four-month period when insiders knew about the federal antitrust investigation but the public did not.
The Wall Street Journal reported in February that federal investigators had been interviewing healthcare industry representatives in sectors where UnitedHealth competes, including doctor groups.
Investigators have asked about issues including certain relationships between the company's UnitedHealthcare insurance unit and its Optum health services arm, which owns physician groups, among other assets.

Hmmmmmmm? Did he know some names in CONgress that some would prefer not come out? Wait until pee diddly’s list comes out.
Too bad the Dee Oh Jay never investigates Congresscritters, like PeLOUSY, for these kinds of stock dumps.
🤔
Probably with Helmsley.
Hmmmmmmm? Did he know some names in CONgress that some would prefer not come out?
Would NOT surprise anyone, if so.
I was gonna ask....
I guess we now know that taking customers’ good money for years and then denying claims isn’t a victimless crime. Who knew?
The pool of potential suspects keeps getting deeper.
Or Schwartz Gyorgy, for that matter.
Indeed.
GETTING MORE & MORE INTERESTING.
DID PELOSI OWN SHARES??????
I’m A-ok with this. At some point the corrupt will be dealt with. One down and God knows how many more are in the perpetrators list. If I were on the jury I’d definitely vote to aquit
Well, all the rest doesn’t matter any more. SOMEONE found him guilty.
I wonder if the shooter knows its illegal, let alone fire a gun in mid-Manhattan? This is what I call an ‘onion’ story. There are probably many layers as to what happened here and why. I hope they investigate a helluva lot further than arresting the shooter, because this has all the earmarks of something darker and more complex.

IOW, the Biden-Obama cadre had him capped.
If the shooter was a professional they may not even know who hired them—there could have been a “cut out”.
So? Not a motive for murder.
