Luigi Mangione Received $40,000 from Fans to Spend in Prison, Report Says. Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly has $40,000 in his prison commissary account thanks to fan donations. Mangione, 27, was arrested after a five-day manhunt following the December 2024 shooting outside a Manhattan hotel. He faces federal murder and stalking charges and has pleaded not guilty. Authorities say Mangione was motivated by anger toward “corporate greed” in the U.S. healthcare industry. Bullet casings found at the scene were inscribed with “deny,” “delay,” and “depose.” Despite facing life in prison, Mangione has gained a large following online, with supporters from across the political spectrum — and even admirers who call him attractive. TMZ reported, citing a recently released inmate, that Mangione’s commissary funds come largely from fan donations, giving him a financial edge inside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Federal inmates can buy food and personal items like Nutella, oatmeal, or Velveeta cheese, though purchases are capped at $160 per visit. Mangione’s lawyers have asked fans to stop sending books due to prison restrictions, saying he can only possess five at a time. His legal defense fund has raised over $1.3 million on GiveSendGo, with attorneys acknowledging his gratitude but asking supporters to limit mail and photos.
