Arrested in Pennsylvania, 26-year-old Italian-American Mangione had proclaimed himself an enemy of corporations. His path from bright young man to follower of Unabomber ideology
Hours after his arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, new details emerge about Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man indicted for the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione, who came from a wealthy Italian-American family with a real estate fortune, had severed ties with family and friends six months ago, embracing the anti-technology and anti-capitalist ideology of the Unabomber.
Upon arrest, police found on him a document-manifesto in which he proclaimed himself the “castigator of corporations,” particularly against insurance companies, with a ghost gun similar to the one used in the murder. In the manifesto, Mangione declared, “These parasites had it coming, I apologize for any conflict and trauma, but it had to be done.”
Mangione’s capture ended an NYPD-led manhunt complicated by the sympathy that some of the New York public had shown toward the killer. Many saw him as a symbol of the fight against corporations, particularly insurance corporations, seen as ruthless and greedy. The killer was tracked down thanks to a tip from a fast food employee. Joseph Kenny, chief of New York detectives, said Mangione “had a grudge against corporate America.”
Mangione’s well-known and respected family is distraught.
The Mangione family, with extensive real estate and business holdings including retirement homes and a conservative radio station, issued a brief statement, “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We pray for Brian Thompson’s family and ask for prayers for all those involved.” Nino Mangione, Luigi’s cousin, is a Republican congressman in the Maryland State Assembly.
Mangione’s descent into radicalization began after a bright youth and a path of academic and professional success
A 2016 graduate of the prestigious Gilman School as valedictorian of his class, Mangione had delivered a speech in which he described himself as “ready for new ideas and challenges.” After graduation, he enrolled at Penn University, where he majored in computer science with a focus on developing video games. He later worked as a software engineer, with several stints at tech companies, including TrueCar, from which he resigned in 2023.
Testimonies from friends reveal Mangione’s psychological and physical decline
A friend and colleague at a coworking space in Honolulu, where he had moved to work remotely, recounted that Mangione suffered from chronic back pain, which compromised his personal life and alienated him from friends. Mangione left Honolulu for back surgery in 2023 and, since then, disappeared from the sight of his acquaintances, except for a few online traces.
Ideological radicalization is evidenced by his posts on GoodReads
In January 2024, Mangione reviewed Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto, the Unabomber, arguing that his message against capitalism and technology should not be dismissed as “insanity” and that “violence is necessary when all other forms of communication fail.” Words that resonate tragically today in light of the crime committed in New York City.
