They’ve been getting loads of them recently. They took down that Sky ECC encrypted phone service and hit the jackpot. You’d think that these guys would be wary after the Encrochat bust but it seems like they all just jumped straight on the new thing and learned nothing.

The should of fucked off to Dubai, they will even launder the cash for you and fast track your shipments!

True but they have been booted out of Dubai recently. Couple of big Euro dealers were in the news past few weeks.

Anyone got a decent tinfoil theory for this?

Just reading around it now.

Reddit lurk brought up this

UnitedHealth Group gross profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 was $23.029B

Footage is weird. Gun jams multiple times.

You should know that’s because he is using low velocity ammo which is quieter but will not cause the chamber to recoil and auto prime the next bullet in the chamber :smiley:

Obviously given the gun by someone else. You need to get on 4Chan the conspiracies are in full flow.

cmon giz some foil

It’s just general Covid big pharma anti semitic nonsense. Why this particular guy was targeted is barely considered.

Here’s an example of some of the more rational reasoning:

"The suppressor has little to do with the cycling. However, if he was using a subsonic round to further decrease the noise level then the gun would not cycle.

Generally I think pros would simply use an overweight bullet to get a subsonic round with enough recoil to cycle but heavy enough not to break the speed of sound.

I think what we have here is someone sophisticated enough to use a subsonic round and know they will have to manually rack the gun every shot BUT not sophisticated enough to know to use a heavyweight bullet to avoid this problem.

So I’m thinking we can rule glowies out and start thinking more along the lines of disgruntled policy holder or hired hitman."

Latest Gregg Wallace victim interview was just on Newsnight. He’s buried now, thank fuck. Properly disgusting.

I think New York has gunshot mic’s as well, maybe they are only triggered at a certain decibel level

Either way, and I hate to say it, the internets probably correct on this one, disgruntled employee/pissed off family member left potless because they wouldn’t cover the payout for a loved one. Unfortunately this shady company and it’s practices of trying to do everything to minimise payments, it’s created a suspect list in the hundreds of thousands. Allegedly they also just had some layoffs.

It amazes me that it’s taken this long for a CEO to be targeted like this if it is the above theory, and I for one welcome these soul sucking vampires who feast on the poor like vultures be made to quake in their overpriced shoes for once

I get what you’re saying, but those soul sucking vampires keep hundreds of thousands of people in jobs, prop up millions of people’s pension pots and pay billions of dollars in taxes. It’s not all the fault of the fat cats, hate the game not the player.

True but even after all that the profits are obscene. 23 billion per QUARTER! That’s just evil at play

Yeah profiting from healthcare isn’t a good look, particularly if there is evidence they have cut or restricted care to increase profits…which I believe there is.

I mean there’s profit and there’s just mass exploitation

Mate of ours (work) made a decent amount of money building up a few festivals bought an ambulance and a small team for them and now is setting up a Private surgery. He says he is skint at the mo as it’s all gone into this but he’s not doing it for massive profit, of course he wants to make decent money from it but wants to make a difference, however skewed a view he has or anyone has to judge reasoning.
There are many people/business’ that start out with good intention and many fall into greed quite easily when the money starts to roll in and pile up.

I used to work for a company that made software aimed at the US hospitals and how they could claim back money from the government through the Medicare scheme. Hospitals would make claims but would inevitably leave out masses of stuff they should have been claiming for.

Once you see in black and white how much a basic procedure can cost, say, a child breaks an arm while skating, a mother with breast cancer, only then do you really understand how rich some people/companies are getting in the US. More importantly, you can see how someone would rather die than saddle their kids with debt or have to sell their house to get life saving care.

It costs about $3000 dollars just to call an ambulance in the States, and if you’re in an accident you might not even get to make the choice whether you want one or not. Then a company like the one this guy works for, who takes your money every month, decides that what happened to you was avoidable and they won’t cover the 150k in bills you’ve suddenly been lumbered with. You can understand why this guy suddenly gets shot in the street

The NHS needs to be protected with fire
