The author of the book that might have served as the impetus for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is refusing to comment.
Following the horrifying crime shown on camera, Jay M. Feinman’s 2010 book, Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claim and What You Can Do About, has gained a lot of attention, according to Knewz.com.
“Sorry, no comment” is what Feinman, a law professor at Rutgers University, stated when questioned about his thoughts about bulletins used in the crime being carved with the words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend,” which is similar to the title of his book.
Accusations of “unethical practices of delaying or denying legitimate claims” are made against the insurance business in this highly critical book.
Police have not yet identified the blatant killer or determined the motive behind the murder.
Video shows Thompson strolling idly down a New York City block just before a masked and hooded shooter emerged from behind and began firing repeatedly. The incident happened on Wednesday morning outside a Manhattan hotel shortly after 6:45 a.m.
The suspect then fled on a bicycle and made his way toward Central Park, where Thompson was observed stumbling before collapsing. His last sighting was just outside the park. According to information obtained by police, the CEO had been getting “some threats” before the shooting.
Paulette Pauley Thompson, Thompson’s former wife, suggested that the crime might have been connected to his employment when she said: “Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage?”
“I don’t know details,” she continued. All I know is that he claimed that some individuals had been threatening him.
According to insiders, the gunman, who has not yet been apprehended, may not have been a professional hitman as some experts have suggested, given he made multiple efforts to kill his target.
The misfiring killer has also stoked speculation that he might be a non-specialist shooter seeking retribution on the insurance sector.
According to a source: “There is still much conjecture regarding the killer’s intentions. Even though he appeared at ease with the rifle, his aim wasn’t very precise, thus it’s unlikely that he was an expert.
“Therefore, it adds increasingly more weight to the argument this could be an amateur vigilante.”
They continued: “The manhunt is still ongoing according to the latestNYPDbriefing, which stated the search has now become ‘multi-state.'”
Investigators got a search warrant to examine the contents of a phone they suspect belonged to the shooter after they discovered it in an alley close to the site.
Police also disclosed that, despite wearing a mask, part of the gunman’s face is visible in a photo taken at a nearby Starbucks just minutes before the crime was committed.
Investigators are searching for a match using facial recognition software on the photos.
According to law enforcement officials, DNA evidence found in a water bottle that the suspect is thought to have purchased at a Starbucks two blocks from the scene of the crime has been forwarded to the forensics lab for analysis.
