Is THIS the secret meaning behind the 3-word message etched on bullets assassin used to gun down Brian Thompson?

There may be a hidden meaning to the phrases written on the rounds that the shooter used to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

It has been suggested that the three-worded message, which includes the phrases “deny,” “depose,” and “defend,” may be a reference to a book that criticizes insurance firms.

The phrase may be a reference to Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claim and What You Can Do About, written by insurance law expert Professor Jay M. Feinman and released in 2010.

The book takes a strong stance against the insurance sector, accusing firms of engaging in “unethical practices of delaying or denying legitimate claims.”

“Dozens of stories involving major insurers” are included in the book, which is described as offering advice to readers “on how to make insurance buying decisions and pursue disputed claims.”

On Wednesday, Thompson was shot by the suspect outside a hotel in Manhattan.

He entered the New York Hilton Midtown immediately after 6:45 a.m., when the incident occurred.

The U.S. Sun got chilling CCTV footage that captures the moment the hooded and masked shooter came up behind the CEO and started shooting repeatedly.

Despite UnitedHealth Group having an internal security team, Thompson did not have security with him at the time.

The suspect casually mounted a nearby e-bike and rode off toward Central Park after the murder.

Just outside the park’s boundaries, on Central Park Drive, he was last saw.

Using drones, helicopters, and dogs, police have begun a desperate manhunt for the gunman, who is still at large.

Two blocks away from the shooting scene, on CCTV, the suspect was seen placing an order at Starbucks on West 56th and 6th Avenue.

According to sources, he purchased two PowrerBars, coffee, and a bottle of water prior to the shooting.

He threw the coffee cup and bottle in the trash, which police recovered from the trash and now have as proof.

In an alley close to the scene, investigators also discovered a phone they suspect belonged to the shooter.

To examine the contents of the phone, they have a search warrant.

A reward of up to $10,000 was offered by the police for information that resulted in an arrest.

The shooting was not a random act of violence, according to New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, even if detectives had not yet determined a motive.

Detectives are looking into how the shooter was able to follow Thompson’s movements after he arrived in New York City on Monday.

Nonetheless, it was widely known that he would serve as the event’s host and that he would make an announcement about the company’s optimism for a successful 2025.

Thompson served as the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary. In April 2021, he was assigned to this role.

Thompson held a number of executive positions within UnitedHealth Group prior to becoming CEO, including those in operations and finance.

Thompson was one of the senior executives at the business that the Department of Justice was looking into, it has come out.
