Before he was accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione was a brilliant programmer who created mobile apps and fixed bugs for major gaming companies. This episode traces his transformation from Ivy League valedictorian to alleged killer, revealing how a devastating back injury and a healthcare system powered by artificial intelligence may have driven a tech prodigy to violence. Through exclusive access to Mangione's social media posts, investigator interviews, and his detailed technical notebooks, we uncover the story of a brilliant mind's descent into darkness - and what it reveals about the algorithms controlling American healthcare.
