We now have a name in the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson - Luigi Mangione.

I want to know more about this fellow. Given his name one suspect Mafia ties.

Apparently Mangione was an U Penn graduate and hated capitalism. But was he being coerced into this?

According to The Blaze Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, where his family was rich and owned a couple of country clubs, lived in Honolulu, and had ties to San Francisco. He got a masters in computer science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Here's more from the BBC.

The point is only immigrants would name their kid Luigi in America. He is no doubt first generation Italian-American. That doesn't mean he's necessarily mobbed up any more than it does for an Irish-American but it certainly is a possibility. This is the kind of thing the Mafia would do if they had sufficient cause, and the way they would do it.

Mangione may have been an expendable, in which case he won't live long.

The New York Times says he has a criminal record in New York. Suggestive, no?

Whether it was hatred of capitalism (which gave him his gentrified lifestyle) or a personal vendetta or a mob hit, Mangione was clearly on the Left side of the spectrum, another spoiled brat rich kid who thought he could get himself out of any trouble.
