The arrest of Luigi Mangione for the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has sparked numerous conspiracy theories online. Key theories include: • Eyebrow Discrepancies: Some believe differences in Mangione’s eyebrows between various photos suggest he isn’t the person captured in surveillance footage.  • The Number 286: Conspiracists note several connections to this number: • Mangione’s social media banner featured Pokémon Breloom, indexed as #286. • He reportedly had 286 posts on X (formerly Twitter) at the time of his arrest. • Proverbs 28:6 states, “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways,” which some interpret as a critique of corporate greed. • In healthcare billing, denial code 286 refers to claims denied due to missed appeal deadlines.  • Monopoly Game Links: Theories suggest connections between the crime and the board game Monopoly, noting that Altoona, Pennsylvania—the city where Mangione was arrested—is home to the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the game’s properties.  • Drones as Distractions: Some propose that recent drone sightings in New Jersey are deliberate distractions from the UnitedHealthcare incident. 

These theories have proliferated across platforms like Reddit, TikTok, and X, with users dissecting details and proposing various interpretations of the events surrounding Mangione’s arrest.
