A Lakeland, Florida woman, 42-year-old mother of three, Briana Boston, was arrested after allegedly threatening BlueCross BlueShield over a denied medical insurance claim. According to police, she ended a call with the insurer by saying, "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next," echoing words found on bullet casings in the recent murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione. Boston has been described as the first 'Luigi Mangione copycat' and faces up to 15 years in prison. She has been charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, and her bail was set at $100,000.
