Summary

Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threatening a health insurance company after repeating words linked to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

During a recorded call with Blue Cross Blue Shield about a denied claim, Boston said, “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next,” echoing phrases engraved on bullet casings at Thompson’s murder scene.

Authorities allege she exploited the CEO’s homicide to make the threat.

Boston, a mother of three with no prior criminal record, was arrested and held on $100,000 bail amidst warnings of potential copycat incidents targeting healthcare executives.

    They implied the worker on the other end of the line would be the next one to suffer grevious bodily harm or death.

    Not really.

    The call center rep likely gets daily death threats working that hellish job, ones far more direct. Ones that didn’t get the person arrested.

    She implied someone at the top was going to be targeted. You know, someone the company actually cares about.
