Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was killed in a brazen attack while under investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged insider trading and monopoly practices. The DOJ is also challenging a $3.3 billion acquisition to prevent monopolistic control in the healthcare market.
Brian Thompson , the slain CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down on Wednesday while top executives at his company have reportedly been under investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged insider trading and a monopoly.
“There were reports that the executives were accused of insider trading and fraud, and last year the DOJ launched a probe into whether the nation’s largest insurer was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly,” it added. “We are challenging this merger because home health and hospice patients and their families experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives deserve affordable, high quality care options,” said Garland. “The Justice Department will not hesitate to check unlawful consolidation and monopolization in the healthcare market that threatens to harm vulnerable patients, their families, and health care workers.
“The attacker fired more than once–striking Thompson more than once–and was able to clear jams in the gun as he was firing. The attacker’s ability to clear jams in the gun leads Kenny to believe the attacker was ‘proficient in the use of firearms,'” reported Breitbart News.
