Luigi Mangione was roughed up by a group of transgender women during a wild night out in Thailand in the months before he allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a new report claims.
The 27-year-old accused assassin allegedly bragged to friends over WhatsApp about his raucous nightlife backpacking through Asia before he returned to the US in July 2024 and allegedly shot Thompson that December, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
In one eyebrow-raising message, Mangione claimed he had been beaten up by seven “ladyboys” — a colloquial term for transgender women — in Bangkok and shared a photo of his battered and scratched arm, according to texts reviewed by the outlet.
The Ivy League-educated tech whiz set off on a solo trip abroad in early 2024, befriending soccer player Christian Sacchini and an unidentified companion along the way.
Sacchini, who met Mangione at a Bangkok pub in March, told the publication the accused killer initially talked about video games and Pokemon before veering into a rant about how “effed up” the US health care system is compared to Thailand.

Ladyboys
San Francisco
Jerry Springer, eat your heart out.
Good news for the day, if belated.
So, does luigi bat for the “other” team?
You mean Luigi, the pretty boy, backshooting ho?
Mangione got owned by girls with a bone
He’s quite the ladyboy’s man
That will triple his popularity with the NoKings bunch, nothing like a little SM with the right crowd.
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble. Can’t be too careful with your company.
Thailand?......................
Thailand?
Five seconds. Damn ya...
Normally I would say bring the ladyboys in to testify, but they’ve already pegged the culprit.
Ok, that begs the question.
1. Was it a straight on robbery? (wait NOTHING is “straight” here)
2. Was he engaged with one or more of them in a carnal sense?
3. If so, did he know they were boys?
4. Were they beating him up to protect a teammate?
I don’t want to do any farther.
😁😏......................
I love that song!................
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don’t know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies - doesn’t seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change - don’t you know that when you
Play at this level there’s no ordinary venue
It’s Iceland... or the Philippines... or Hastings... or... or this place!
One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town’s very like another
When your head’s down over your pieces, brother
It’s a drag, it’s a bore, it’s really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town...
Tea, girls, warm, sweet, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai’d! You’re talking to a tourist
Whose every move’s among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can’t be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siam’s gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank God I’m only watching the game, controlling it
I don’t see you guys rating
The kind of mate I’m contemplating
I’d let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours
One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can’t be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
So is this justification for committing murder?
What an awesome song that is. Bands in the 1980s had this sophisticated tongue-in-cheek irreverence that bands today are too stupid to have.
