Inside Luigi Mangione’s Shocking Plot Against UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
Yet another installment of corporate melodrama dropped when Luigi Mangione’s self-styled manifesto hit the court docket on June 5, 2025. According to TMZ and accompanying court filings, Mangione—who once billed himself as a mild-mannered insurance analyst—accuses UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson of “systematic sabotage” of his personal fortunes. Tone aside, it seems Mangione’s grievances read like a grim office memo crossed with a conspiracy thriller.
Mangione’s 30-page exposé, obtained by TMZ and corroborated by law-enforcement sources, paints Thompson as the puppet-master behind sky-high premiums and denied claims. He claims Thompson orchestrated a “personal vendetta” after a routine coverage audit left him with an unexpected $1,200 medical bill. Nothing says “I hate you” quite like blaming a multibillion-dollar healthcare titan for a balance due that you glossed over.
In one eyebrow-raising passage, Mangione references Thompson’s tenure at UnitedHealth Group, alleging that the CEO “thrives on corporate humiliation.” He goes so far as to chronicle a chance encounter at an industry gala, claiming Thompson shot him “the kind of glare you reserve for underperforming coffee machines.” But here’s the kicker: no witness corroborated that glare, unless you count the CCTV footage of Mangione glaring at a coat rack instead.
Court documents reveal Mangione’s plan spiraled beyond passive-aggressive emails. He detailed six phases of retribution, including “Operation Policy Purge” and “Stage Right Into a Life Sentence.” These sections read like an ill-advised screenplay draft rather than a blueprint for justice. Experts quoted by Bloomberg and Forbes have since labeled the manifesto a “textbook cry for attention” and recommend therapy over trial proceedings.
UnitedHealthcare’s legal team responded with a terse statement—“We take these allegations seriously and are cooperating with authorities”—which is corporate-speak for “We’ve seen worse Monday morning memos.” Meanwhile, Thompson himself declined to comment, reportedly because he was busy signing off on quarterly earnings that don’t involve deranged manifestos.
Prosecutors are expected to file additional charges after a mental-health evaluation. If convicted, Mangione faces up to 20 years behind bars, which might be the only time he’s under tighter scrutiny than Thompson’s expense reports.
Well, there you have it: grand conspiracies, unverified glares, and a manifesto that doubles as a cautionary tale. Tune in next time for more lawsuits, sworn statements, and enough corporate drama to make your HR department weep.
