Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Threatened Health Insurance Company
In summary, felony charges against Briana Boston, who threatened BlueCross BlueShield after a denied claim, were dropped by Florida prosecutors. Boston, a 42-year-old mother with no criminal history, allegedly uttered the phrase “Delay, Deny, Depose,” echoing the words found at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder. While authorities initially investigated the threat seriously, the case was dismissed, likely due to Boston’s lack of criminal record and her assertion of no intent to harm. The dismissal follows increased security measures adopted by insurance companies in the wake of Thompson’s death.
