From Talkocast Studios comes "Delay, Deny, Depose" - an investigation into the December 4th assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. What began as a precisely planned murder outside the New York Hilton Midtown - complete with shell casings inscribed with a haunting message - has exposed the dark intersection of artificial intelligence, corporate healthcare, and human desperation.
Before he was accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione was a brilliant programmer who created mobile apps and fixed bugs for major gaming companies.
This episode traces his transformation from Ivy League valedictorian to alleged killer, revealing how a devastating back injury and a healthcare system powered by artificial intelligence may have driven a tech prodigy to violence. Through exclusive access to Mangione's social media posts, investigator interviews, and his detailed technical notebooks, we uncover the story of a brilliant mind's descent into darkness - and what it reveals about the algorithms controlling American healthcare.
