Briana Boston Charged With Terrorism After Threatening Blue Cross BlueShield Over Denied Claims; Bond Set at $100,000
Dec 13, 2024, 01:43 AM
Briana Boston, a 42-year-old woman from Lakeland, Florida, has been charged with making threats against Blue Cross BlueShield after her medical insurance claims were denied. During a phone call with the insurance company, she allegedly concluded the conversation by stating, "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next." This phrase has been linked to the recent murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, raising concerns about potential copycat threats. Boston's bond has been set at $100,000, and she faces charges related to threats of terrorism and the possibility of conducting a mass shooting. The incident has drawn attention due to the timing, occurring shortly after the CEO's murder, and has sparked discussions about the implications of such threats in the context of healthcare disputes. Police reports indicate that Boston expressed frustration over the insurance company’s handling of her claims, suggesting that she felt healthcare companies deserved "karma" for their actions.
