WASHINGTON (TNND) — A Florida woman has been charged after allegedly threatening a healthcare company using a phrase eerily similar to those carved into bullets used to shoot and kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
According to an arrest affidavit, Lakeland Police officers were contacted by the FBI Tuesday over an alleged threat made by 42-year-old Briana Boston. Boston had reportedly called BlueCross BlueShield after recent insurance claims were denied.
The phone call was recorded and given to Lakeland police by the FBI. During the call, Boston was heard saying "Delay, deny, depose. You people are next."
Those words were found carved on the bullets used to fatally shoot Thompson in New York City on Dec. 4. Since then, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione has been arrested in connection to the killing and has allegedly expressed his discontent with the healthcare industry in a manifesto.
