Healthcare CEO 'Wanted' Posters Pop Up in New York City After UHC Murder
UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder 'Wanted' Posters of Other Execs Appear in NYC
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder is inspiring warnings to other healthcare executives ... with "wanted" posters popping up in NYC of other big players in the industry.
Video of these posters is going viral online ... showing a dark green traffic control box in Lower Manhattan decorated with three posters featuring healthcare CEOs -- including Thompson's photo with a huge red "X" slashed through it.
The other 2 execs are at OptumHealth and UnitedHealth Group and the poster accuses them of denying medical coverage in order to bolster their companies' bottom lines.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... these posters are all over the city, calling out top healthcare execs and companies -- specifically UnitedHealthcare and Emblem.
Posters featuring Goldman Sachs' CEO and CFO were also plastered near the financial institution's office in Lower Manhattan, we're told.
The people who created the posters took care not to directly state these executives should be killed, our sources say ... instead using language to imply they aren't good people, and detailing their salaries.
Law enforcement has been in touch with these healthcare execs on the posters, and cops are stepping up protection efforts for these CEOs.
Of course, Thompson's murder last week inspired widespread positive reactions online ... with many applauding the alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, instead of condemning him.
As we told you ... Mangione was charged with Thompson's murder Monday after cops took him into custody in Pennsylvania.
A former bodyguard for Thompson told TMZ he's in complete disbelief the exec didn't have security when he was murdered.
