Online platforms including Etsy and eBay are peddling mugs, candles and other products linked to the shooting death of Brian Thompson.
Shirts, mugs and stickers bearing the words 'Deny Defend Depose' are appearing for sale on e-commerce websites just days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot to death in New York City. Those words were scrawled on three shell casings found at the scene of the Dec. 4 shooting in Manhattan, according to law enforcement sources, and loosely echo the title of a book about why insurance companies deny patient claims.
Sellers on online marketplace Etsy list over 800 items bearing 'Deny Defend Depose,' including stickers, candles and apparel, while eBay is selling stickers, clothing, lawn signs and cell phone cases with the phrase. In a statement to CBS MoneyWatch, eBay said the sale of items with the words does not violate its policies. But the company added that 'items that glorify or incite violence, including those that celebrate the recent murder of UHC CEO Brian Thompson, are prohibited.
