A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect’s unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company, as well as running down every threat made against the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

That’s gonna take some time.

I don’t know if the number was real but someone posted a picture that their denial rate was 32% whereas the lowest provider was 9%

Their denial rate was 8% when Brian Thompson became CEO and jumped to 22.7% after one year of his leadership. 32% is believable after 3 years, especially if it’s true that the decision to train an LLM for the purpose of auto rejecting claims was his directive

Why a LLM when an autoreply of “Denied” would work?

Isn’t it their policy to deny every claim to force an appeal? How many claims do they get in a day? Their investigation will never end.

I believe their policy is deny, delay, defend.

Seems to me that this investigation is way over budget.

Seems like they should delay and deny an investigation and then defend that stance as a cost saving measure.

They go to the same lengths for every murder, right? Right?

What other murders? That was the only crime that evening in the city.

i’m not remotely convinced they haven’t just grabbed footage of some rando with a hoodie and said “he’s the one!” so it looks like they’re actually getting somewhere

that said, if i were cop, i’d be dropping my usual half-ass work ethic down to quarter-ass at most on this one

I wonder how many NY cops have gone to 1/8th.

What could ever get anyone to think the shitass NYPD was ever doing more than 1/8 effort?

They don’t hire for quality.

Hmnnnnmnn what if cops on this one are also siding with the working class? Obviously they can’t come out and say it, but they can half ass the investigation

The role of police is to divide, control and oppress the working class so they don’t revolt when the rich steal everything the working class has.

Police fundamentally cannot side with the working class unless they quit their job and find a new career.

The point is they can’t look like they half assed the investigation or the corporate elites will come down on them.
