NYPD officers discovered stacks of Monopoly money in the backpack of the suspect accused of shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare during a high-profile conference in Manhattan. Authorities are still piecing together the motive behind the attack, but the peculiar find has raised more questions than answers.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the New York Police Department discovered a backpack in Central Park believed to belong to the suspect in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Now, authorities have revealed the contents inside the backpack.
According to NYPD officials, a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money were found inside the suspect’s backpack.
On Saturday, police divers searched the waters of a pond in Central Park where the suspect’s backpack was found in hopes of finding the suspect’s gun, but divers have yet to discover any evidence linked to the shooter.

RELATED: NYC Mayor: ‘Net Tightening’ on UnitedHealth Executive’s Murderer
NEWSMAX | Published December 8, 2024
Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was quoted as saying on Saturday by the New York Post.
“The net is tightening,” Adams told reporters at a Police Athletic League holiday party in Harlem, according to the Post. He declined to name the suspect.
Thompson, 50, who became CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance unit in April 2021, was shot in the back around 6:45 a.m. ET on Wednesday in what police described as a targeted attack by a masked assailant lying in wait.
The murder occurred just before the company’s annual investor conference at the Hilton hotel on Sixth Avenue.
The shooting sparked a massive manhunt for the gunman, who fled on foot wearing a hooded jacket, balaclava and gray backpack before mounting an electric bike and riding into Central Park, police said.
Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect’s name for now to deny him any advantage.
“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask.”

RELATED: UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Killed While DOJ Investigating Execs for Insider Trading, Monopoly
BREITBART | Published December 4, 2024
Brian Thompson, the slain CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down on Wednesday while top executives at his company have reportedly been under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged insider trading and a monopoly.
“Multiple senior executives at UnitedHealthcare have been under investigation by the Department of Justice, though it is not clear if CEO Brian Thompson was part of that investigation before his murder,” reported Fox Business.
“There were reports that the executives were accused of insider trading and fraud, and last year the DOJ launched a probe into whether the nation’s largest insurer was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly,” it added.
Lawsuits were filed by the DOJ in conjunction with attorneys general from Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York to block the $3.3 billion acquisition of rival health and hospice provider Amedisys, which would have eliminated the competition. Attorney General Merrick Garland said last month that the merger could harm vulnerable patients.
“We are challenging this merger because home health and hospice patients and their families experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives deserve affordable, high quality care options,” said Garland. “The Justice Department will not hesitate to check unlawful consolidation and monopolization in the healthcare market that threatens to harm vulnerable patients, their families, and health care workers.”
“American healthcare is unwell. Unless this $3.3 billion transaction is stopped, UnitedHealth Group will further extend its grip to home health and hospice care, threatening seniors, their families and nurses,” said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division.
The company also experienced a major hacking scandal earlier this year in which large numbers of Americans’ personal data was lost.
