Remember Luigi Mangione?
The man who (allegedly) shot the CEO of United Healthcare in broad daylight, New York City execution style?
Well, there’s a strange new twist to his story, now a new report claims that the CEO of United Healthcare was beaten up and (allegedly) shot by a group of 7 “ladyboys” in Thailand just months before his trip to the US.
Now I’m not quite sure what a “Thailand ladyboi” is, but I’m guessing it would be some kind of effeminate man who wants to be ladylike and be treated like a lady?
Now image 7 of those things is appearing in front of you.
Oh.

I have to agree with CynomelMuncher on the
I’m sure they scratch and have dirty fights too!
I think I can handle 3-4 ladyboys but 7 is too many. There’s no shame in losing that battle https://t.co/kyikIeiyhv

This reminds me of “Would You Rather” which asks: “Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?”
Would you rather fight 7 ladyboys or 1 real boy?
Hmmmm.
Anyway, I digress!
Back to our story…
NY Post There were more details on the very bizarre new claims:
A new report claims that Luigi Mangione was abused by a group of transgender women during a wild night out in Thailand just months before UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was allegedly shot to death.
The 27-year-old accused killer allegedly bragged on WhatsApp to friends about his nightlife backpacking through Asia before returning to the US in July 2024 and allegedly shot Thompson in December, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
In an eyebrow-raising message, Mangione claimed she was beaten by seven “ladyboys” — a slang term for transgender women — in Bangkok and shared a photo of her battered and bruised arm, according to texts reviewed by the outlet.
The Ivy League-educated techie sets out on a solo trip abroad in early 2024, befriending soccer player Christian Sacchini and an unidentified companion along the way.
Sacchini, who met Mangione in a Bangkok pub in March, told the publication that the accused killer initially talked about video games and Pokemon and how the U.S. health care system compared to Thailand’s.
“He couldn’t believe it,” Sacchini said of Mangione’s shock at the low cost of MRIs in the Southeast Asian country.
The alleged killer, who is from a wealthy Maryland family, eventually fled to the lush Mount Omine mountains in Japan, looking for a slower pace and hoping to “meditate” and “write something” near a cool hot spring.
According to the Times report, notes from fellow travelers, locals and Mangione’s own show that he was isolating himself by craving human connection at the beginning of his trip, while he was thinking about making a dramatic statement about injustice over insurance coverage.
“They didn’t use any digital devices,” said Juntaro Mihara, owner of a small guesthouse in Tenkawa, where the University of Pennsylvania graduate stayed for six days.

Luigi Mangione’s top terrorism charges dropped by New York judge
The accused killer of UnitedHealth CEO Luigi Mangione just had some of his top charges dropped.
A New York judge dropped top terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.
Judge Gregory Caro ruled that Mangione’s actions did not reflect terrorism under New York state law.
New York Post More details on a New York judge’s decision to dismiss the terrorism charges:
A judge has thrown out top counts in the state murder case of Luigi Mangione – rejecting claims the accused killer could be charged as a terrorist – in a major blow to prosecutors.
In a ruling released Tuesday, Judge Gregory Caro dismissed the charges of murder in the first degree as an act of terrorism and manslaughter in the second degree as a terrorism offense against the 27-year-old Ivy League graduate.
The judge kept Mangione’s second-degree murder charge alive for allegedly brutally killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the health care company’s investor conference on December 4, 2024.
“The People presented substantial evidence that the defendant murdered Brian Thompson in a premeditated and planned manner. However, this does not mean that the defendant did so with terroristic intent,” Caro wrote in his decision.
The verdict means Mangione still faces a 25-year sentence in the state case, but not the 25-year sentence without the possibility of parole he was facing.

abc 6 Mangione reported on his next trial date:
The judge scheduled a pre-trial hearing in the case for Dec. 1, just days before the next court hearing in the federal case against Mangione.
It was Mangione’s first court appearance in the state case since February, and he wore beige prison clothes, handcuffs and shackles. The 27-year-old Ivy League graduate has attracted a cult following as an advocate for the frustrations of the health insurance industry.
Dozens of his supporters came to his final hearing, many of whom wore the green color of the Luigi video game character as a symbol of solidarity. His April arraignment in the federal case and Tuesday’s hearing in state court drew similar enthusiasm.
On Tuesday, a fan in the courtroom wore a shirt that read “Free Luigi.” As news of the terrorism charges being dropped spread, some supporters gathered outside, across the street from the court building, cheered and clapped.
Mangione had previously pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of murder, including the December 4, 2024, killing as an act of terrorism. Surveillance video showed a masked gunman shooting Thompson in the back as he arrived at the New York Hilton Midtown for an investor conference.
Police say the ammunition was marked with “delay,” “denial” and “disgrace,” mimicking commonly used phrases to describe how insurers avoid paying claims.
