Cryptic words found on bullet casings at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's assassination have baffled investigators. The phrases "deny," "defend," and "depose" etched onto the casings bear a striking resemblance to themes outlined in Jay M. Feinman's 2010 book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.

This unsettling connection has raised questions about whether the book's content could have inspired the motive behind this shocking crime, as reported by NPR.
