Wait, you mean there's a possibility they didn't?

[-] Botzo@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

And without Doge being mentioned, they're clearly not taking credit for finding it.

... And I guess we know why the CEO stepped down.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 81 points 3 days ago

Ohhh that's the "personal reasons" the latest CEO quit over

Luigi’s Mansione

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 59 points 3 days ago

The healthcare-fraud unit of the Justice Department’s criminal division is overseeing the investigation, the people said, and it has been an active probe since at least last summer.

While the exact nature of the potential criminal allegations against UnitedHealth is unclear, the people said the federal investigation is focusing on the company’s Medicare Advantage business practices.

UnitedHealth didn’t respond to written questions Wednesday. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment.

The probe adds to a list of government inquiries into the company, including investigations of potential antitrust violations and a civil investigation of its Medicare billing practices, including at its doctors offices.

Breaking: Trump dissolved the healthcare-fraud unit over DEI policies.

As you put these quotes side by side, I grew less convinced by what's told in the article. Two quotes are sourced by what 'people said', the third one is an inquiry that led to nothing and the forth is a conclusion based on all these, WSJ isn't the shining beacon of journalism, but what the hell lol.

Pre-Bezos it was, but the darkness is taking over now.

"Company’s stock has declined over financial performance and sudden replacement of CEO"

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Oh yes, what a mystery! I wonder why that Brian Thompson was replaced... oh yes! He went on an indefinite medical leave! He had a mineral deficiency, notably lead, and after receiving a few choice pills with a fast release system he decided to take a warm mud bath, then he got so relaxed he sank in and has never been seen again.

The fact this comment is so low means one of three things:

  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers have a subscription to The Wall Street Journal
  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers interact in the comments without reading the article first
  • A shocking amount of /c/news readers already know you can use archive.today to bypass paywalls (based tbh)

It's number two

[-] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 24 points 2 days ago

The investigation will stop as soon as Trump receives a ~~bribe~~ tribute from UHG.

New trump tower donation

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago

Wait, we still generally prosecute crimes?

[-] albert180@piefed.social 28 points 3 days ago

Just buy some meal at Mar A Lago and it will be fine

[-] Corngood@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 days ago

The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

We already got that. We just don't think it should stop there.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

United Health Care blaming any criminal activity on the dead CEO in 3...2...1...

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 4 points 3 days ago

If they do that wouldn’t Luigi be able to use that information for his defense?

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Wrist slaps incoming!

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

I really want the Mangione jury to nullify. But unfortunately, they're not going to.

Because the prosecution has no case and it's obvious Luigi didn't do it.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

Even if they find anything they won't DO anything.

Same old, same old. Call me when democracy wakes up.

[-] jared@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

I think we gotta take it back.

[-] user_name@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

This just means either the guy who retired or the new CEO will become governor and then senator from Florida like Rick Scott.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago

Isn't that their whole business model?

Probable Possible my black hen

She lays eggs in the relative when

She doesn't lay eggs in the positive now

Because she's unable to postulate how!

(Space Child's Mother Goose)

If there's one thing I've learned living in Florida, this crime pays. I was in the break room at my old job and one of our IT people was on the phone with her sister, looked at me, covered the speaker and said "she works for Wellcare, the feds just rushed in and yelled "hands up, move away from the computers! Get out!" But kept her sister and another guy there to pull all the information out.

But a few years later, who is our governor? Fucking Rick Scott, who, as head of another healthcare company defrauded the government just as dramatically. They all do. And the foxes are guarding the henhouse.

Rick Scott was head of this company when they did this:
