UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect no longer believed to be in NYC, NYPD says

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.crimedad.work/post/159369

A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company, as well as running down every threat made against the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

That's gonna take some time.

I don't know if the number was real but someone posted a picture that their denial rate was 32% whereas the lowest provider was 9%

Their denial rate was 8% when Brian Thompson became CEO and jumped to 22.7% after one year of his leadership. 32% is believable after 3 years, especially if it's true that the decision to train an LLM for the purpose of auto rejecting claims was his directive

Why a LLM when an autoreply of "Denied" would work?

30

Presumably because the LLM can give a justification as well, rather than just a straight "no". Doesn't mean it's a good justification but I'm sure they have metrics that say when it looks somewhat plausible that more people don't challenge it.

Isn't it their policy to deny every claim to force an appeal? How many claims do they get in a day? Their investigation will never end.

I believe their policy is deny, delay, defend.

Seems to me that this investigation is way over budget.

Seems like they should delay and deny an investigation and then defend that stance as a cost saving measure.

What other murders? That was the only crime that evening in the city.

Guess he stayed hidden for long enough to loose all 3 wanted stars.

What could ever get anyone to think the shitass NYPD was ever doing more than 1/8 effort?

They don't hire for quality.

14

Hey now, they’d never do something so horrible to a white person.

Hmnnnnmnn what if cops on this one are also siding with the working class? Obviously they can't come out and say it, but they can half ass the investigation

The role of police is to divide, control and oppress the working class so they don't revolt when the rich steal everything the working class has.

Police fundamentally cannot side with the working class unless they quit their job and find a new career.

The police union? Doubt it. They probably negotiated great insurance with the department, because the police union is the only one you can't send the police to harass

Hah! I know that everybody's got a price, and I can't claim that I'd never turn over information about the guy.

But I do know that my price would be one hell of a lot higher than $10,000, that's for damn sure.

I wouldnt settle for a dime under his entire net worth and a list of the denied claims

It isn't necessary to have proper capabilities to perform actions as much as it is to have the perception to have the capabilities to perform the actions.

For example. The door greeters at Walmart do not stop theft, they deter it merely by their presence.

You may be on to something here. Anyone want to ddos the NYPD tip line Make sure to share any useful information you may have with law enforcement.

Ublock Orgin, AdGuard DNS, YouTube ReVanced, SmartTubeNext, Piped, PiHole. You know the drill; no need to explain this over and over. Pick 2 or 3 of these and use them.

i feel like if you're on Lemmy you're tech savvy enough to know that ad blocking is a thing that exists. I'm just saying it killed rick rolling.

I just saw someone that looked very similar hiking off trail near Sonora Pass in the sierra nevadas

No, steamed hams! It's an old family recipe.

Steamed hams, you say? I don't know... these look quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.

"Anonymous karma donor refuses to reveal himself"

"Colossal POS whacked, nobody sad, cash reward less than what the guy wiped his ass with, America united"

hope dude had a plan to go to ground afterwards, with a flat somewhere stocked up, a bank account with funds for doordash, and amazon deliveries

Options nowadays are pretty much tempting - just have to have a tight plan and go through with it.

I hope he had it planned pretty much as you said and is now enjoying his memes while scrolling lemmy.

14

Even better if he's sheltering with someone who can handle that stuff for him

4

He's probably not from NY, but I don't expect intelligence a law enforcement cartel.

You don't. If you think you know them, you don't. You don't know anybody or anything.
