Amazon removes merchandise inspired by UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder

Amazon has removed merchandise from its platform that was inspired by the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Amazon took down merchandise such as clothing containing the phrase, “Delay, Defend, Deny." Some platforms like eBay have allowed items with the phrase to remain available as of Wednesday morning. 

The message reportedly appeared on bullet casings found at the crime scene of Thompson's murder.

Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old University of Pennsylvania graduate, was arrested on Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania at a McDonald's location in connection with Thompson's murder. He reportedly had a manifesto in his possession that heavily criticized the U.S. healthcare system. He now faces a host of charges including second-degree murder.
