Luigi Mangione, the 27‑year‑old American charged in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is reportedly corresponding by post with conservative podcaster Patrick Bet‑David from his jail cell in Brooklyn, according to public comments made by Bet‑David.
Mangione was arrested on 9 December 2024 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after Thompson was shot and killed outside a Manhattan hotel. Prosecutors have charged him with murder, stalking, and weapons offences in connection with the attack, and he has pleaded not guilty.
