From the New York Post: The at-large suspect who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown hotel may have left a message on the bullets he used to kill the executive Wednesday morning, according to police sources.
The NYPD is investigating the possible message — which appears to include the words “deny,” “depose” and “defend” — engraved on live rounds and shell casings left behind by the masked assassin after he shot Thompson, 50, several times at about 6:46 a.m. before fleeing, the sources said.
The words are possible attacks on the health insurance industry, in which Thompson is one of the most powerful leaders — and strikingly similar to a 2010 book condemning the business.
“Delay, Deny, Defend” — two of the three words seemingly left — is sub-titled: “Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.”
Motive of the UnitedHealthcare CEO sh**ter may be revenge for denying claims.
The title of this book on denying claims is eerily similar to 3 words on shell casings found at the m*rder scene.

Bullet casings from the scene involving UHC CEO Brian Thompson had “Depose, Deny & Defend”. Here’s a book written by Jay M. Feinman about the insurance industry except the killer switched out Delay for “Depose” which means… Take out of office… FORCEFULLY! 🤯🤯🤯 Plot thickens! pic.twitter.com/Tlhy0xsKrT

Mike Tranchina of Emergo also explained:
The phrase “deny, defend, depose” is commonly associated with legal or adversarial strategies, particularly in litigation or legal defense. It describes an approach where an entity or individual:
1.Deny – Challenges or refuses allegations.
2.Defend – Protects their position or counters the claims.
3.Depose – Conducts depositions or formal questioning to gather evidence.
This strategy is typically used by legal teams, corporations, or insurance companies in lawsuits or dispute scenarios.

Oh yeah, this was personal. Deny, defend, depose, is a legal/business strategy to reduce liability when accusations or claims are made. https://t.co/u3hqbNhBmV

I’m completely obsessed with this now. The words on the shell casings are similar to the title of a book “Delay, Deny, Defend” which is critical of the insurance industry. Police also don’t think the shooter was a professional assassin. https://t.co/Alvr8NgErG
