Update (1952ET):

Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein released what appears to be Luigi Mangione's manifesto.

Klippenstein wrote on his website:

"I've obtained a copy of suspected killer Luigi Mangione's manifesto — the real one, not the forgery circulating online. Major media outlets are also in possession of the document but have refused to publish it and not even articulated a reason why. My queries to The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and NBC to explain their rationale for withholding the manifesto, while gladly quoting from it selectively, have not been answered."

Here's the full manifesto shared by the journalist:

"To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty."

NBC News' Ben Goggin commented on the manifesto published by Klippenstein: "Seeing many fake manifestos being published -- the one published by Ken matches what NBC has reported here as real." 

Klippenstein noted. 

Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, told NBC's "TODAY" that murder suspect Mangione fits the profile of an 'activist killer'...

The 26-year-old Ivy League school graduate, Luigi Mangione, charged in the murder of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson, will fight extradition to New York City.

"My client will not waive extradition today," Manginone's lawyer said, quoted by Fox News.  

Mangione was denied bail on Monday and will remain at the State Correctional Institution—Huntingdon, Pennsylvania—until proper paperwork is filed.

Mangione's extradition challenge has kicked off the process requiring a warrant issued by the New York governor's office to allow him to be transported to the state, where he would then be arraigned at the criminal courthouse in lower Manhattan. 

Ahead of the extradition proceeding at the Blair County Courthouse in Pennsylvania, Mangione yelled to reporters: "It is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people." 

"The New York Police Department and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office is seeking the Defendant's extradition pursuant to this Warrant of Arrest," an extradition filing obtained by Fox News said. 

The criminal complaint against Mangione in New York has yet to be made public. In New York, criminal complaints remain closed until a defendant is arraigned. 

NYC prosecutors charged Mangione with murder late Monday night, according to court records. He was slapped with criminal possession of a weapon, possession of a forged instrument, and criminal possession of a firearm suppressor in the horrific killing of Thompson nearly one week ago outside a Midtown Manhattan Hilton hotel. 

Manhattan District Attorney's Office told Fox News: "The complaint itself remains sealed." 

"Thompson's killing captivated the public, with some corners of the internet deeming Mangione a quasi-folk hero for striking a blow against the insurance industry," the Wall Street Journal noted. 

Mangione was arrested on Monday at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Investigators are still piecing together Mangione's connection to UnitedHealth. 

Former schoolmates at the private Gilman School in Baltimore told The New York Times that Mangione's family had reached out to them this year, saying they had been trying to contact their son for several months following his back surgery.

The banner photo on Mangione's X account features an X-ray image of what appears to be a person's back following a spinal fusion procedure.

The Daily Mail reported, "Mangione had suffered after a back condition called spondylolisthesis was worsened by a surfing accident," adding that he was "believed to have had back surgery sometime in 2023 but is feared to have suffered continued complications afterward." 

The San Francisco Standard reported that Mangione's mother reported him missing to the San Francisco Police Department on November 18.
