Abstract generation in progress

Once again, a US shooting incident has been linked to cryptocurrency. According to the latest disclosure by BlockBeats, in the incident where CEO Brian Thompson of United Health Insurance was shot and killed, a special item was found in the suspect Mangiione’s backpack when he was apprehended in Pennsylvania—a note filled with cryptocurrency passwords.

Cryptocurrency Clues at the Court Appearance

On December 13, during a pre-trial evidence exclusion hearing at a Manhattan court, police presented a photograph. The photo documented the most mysterious item among the list of items seized when Mangiione was arrested: a note labeled “Encrypted—Cryptocurrency Seed Phrase.”

The key information in the center of the photo was obscured by a black block, and the court kept silent about the specific type of cryptocurrency involved in the note, nor did they reveal whether Mangiione actually controlled any related digital assets.

Timeline Review

The case occurred on the fifth day after Brian Thompson was shot and killed, when Mangiione was captured in Pennsylvania. The cryptocurrency password note found in his backpack became one of the most attention-grabbing physical pieces of evidence in the investigation.

Unresolved Mysteries

This mysterious seed phrase note raises several questions: What is the scale of the involved cryptocurrency assets? Is there a connection to the case motive? The court has not provided an official answer yet, and the specific meaning of this clue remains under investigation.
