As a clear illustration, a Facebook post by UnitedHealth Group detailing their sorrow for the passing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson garnered 62,000 reactions, 57,000 of which included laughing emojis. Thompson was the head of UnitedHealthcare, a component of UnitedHealth Group.
Although the identity and motivation of the gunman have not yet been established by New York police, Thompson’s widow, Paulette, told news in an interview that “there had been some threats” against her husband, maybe because of “a lack of coverage.” I’m not familiar with the specifics.
Despite not mentioning Thompson by name, a source informed reporters that UnitedHealth Group was facing alarming threats.
The murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare demonstrates why businesses invest millions to safeguard their top executives.
