A Florida woman is behind bars after allegedly threatening Blue Cross Blue Shield by saying, 'Deny, delay, depose. You people are next,' following recently denied medical claims.
A Florida woman is behind bars after she allegedly threatened a Blue Cross Blue Shield agent during a phone call about a recently denied insurance claim. Polk County jail records show Briana Boston, 42, was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism after she was recorded saying, 'Delay, deny, depose. You people are next,' FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported.
Boston's arrest comes days after Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested for allegedly murdering Thompson in cold blood in New York City on Dec. 4. Shell casings at the scene of the brazen murder reportedly had the words 'delay,' 'deny' and 'depose' written on them.
In the wake of Thompson's slaying, UnitedHealthcare removed the pictures and names of its executives from its website. Fears of copycat actors have led other insurance companies, including some Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, and pharmacies to do the same.
