Companies Combat Online Support for CEO Murder Suspect with Merch
Following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, merchandise with the words "deny, defend, depose"—linked to criticism of the health insurance industry—appeared online, gaining sympathy for the suspect, Luigi Mangione. Amazon removed these items, but they remain on eBay. Mangione, who expressed disdain for corporate America, was arrested after being spotted at a McDonald's, leading to negative online reviews for the restaurant. The incident highlights public frustration with health insurance practices, as seen in reactions to UnitedHealth Group's statement on Thompson's death.
