I think first, we need to know the actuarials on an otherwise healthy 50-year old male CEO of a company getting shot in the chest in downtown Manhattan on a Wednesday morning while going into work.
Then, we can move to what the actuarials are on the perp being a disgruntled claimant who was pissed off at the system.
Don’t forget the risk factor for that CEO being of health insurance
NYC is a crazy place. Perp made off on a bike like a damn middle schooler going to the ice cream parlor
OK, planned hit paid for by someone who knows someone who was denied a claim.
Not sure the cost of hiring assassins, but that person could have simply paid for the treatment instead.
And, they’d probably know that the CEO, while the head of a company, is not in charge of deciding claim approvals or denials.
Or, jilted lover.
Anyone check the stock price? Someone who sold naked puts or calls and lost a shit-ton?
Did they recently lay off a ton of staff, one of which might have been a professional assassin (as a hobby)?
Here is the path of the perp. He was definitely headed to Central Park (easier to then dissapear in the mass of tourists and locals)
I’m thinking more of a disgruntled employee far more than a claimant/potential customer.
Yeah I’m thinking someone’s husband probably did this
Wow. This was a calculated hit
prior or
posterior
Someone wanted some “naked put” but was denied when called for?
“Yes, there had been some threats basically I don’t know, a lack of coverage? I don’t know details,” Thompson’s wife told NBC News. “I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him.”
Disgruntled employee is a possibility
First coldhearted reaction: Better him than some school kids. Maybe if we drop a few more CEOs there will be movement on gun control from the right.
Stock’s up nearly 1%
Market is ruthless.
Did he have security at the time of the shooting? I guess executives need to get security.
Could it be related to the fact he was on his way to an investor meeting?
My guess is that the investor meeting is unlikely to be tied to the reasons behind the shooting. Generally wall Street analysts and institutional investors attend these things.
It is my understanding that United Healthcare always has their investor meetings at the same hotel and time. The date of the investor conference was announced in advance. Anyone looking to hit the guy could have expected him to be there early this AM, including members of the general public.
In fairness it’s basically in line with the S&P
