A recent post on X makes unfounded claims about the late Brian Thompson, the former CEO of UnitedHealthcare, alleging that his home in Maple Grove, Minnesota, had a secret underground tunnel. The post presents a video narrated by what seems to be an AI voice, suggesting that the purported tunnel was equipped with tools and pathways used for “clandestine transport.” The video further asserts that “cryptic handwritten codes” found in the alleged killer’s home, Luigi Mangione, match documents supposedly discovered in Thompson’s residence.
It has now been 24 hours since Brian Thompson’s life was tragically taken in one of the busiest cities in the world, full of people & cameras
The assassin fled on foot & then used an electronically tracked citibike & HAS STILL NOT BEEN FOUND
Does that riddle anyone else as odd? https://t.co/8QoQjq8Y3I pic.twitter.com/ZYOpegcr1R

However, these allegations are entirely baseless, and the video fails to provide any credible sources to substantiate its claims. Check Your Fact was unable to verify any of the accusations made in the post. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that Mangione was ever found in possession of “cryptic handwritten codes,” except for the number 286, which some internet users speculate could be a clue left by the alleged perpetrator.
Investigation seems to also ignore that months before his death, Brian was accused of insider trading and was going to face trial. He could have told on accomplices.

The video briefly displays black and white text at the 0:34 mark, purportedly originating from Thompson’s home. However, this text is simply an excerpt from a religious poem titled “Jubilate Agno” by Christopher Smart. The images that follow are from the notebook of Léonard Joseph Prunelle de Lière’s Élus Coëns, depicting symbols and seals associated with spirits and angels, according to Wikimedia Commons.
“There is no indication that any of these symbols were in Brian Thompson’s home, or that they had any meaning to him whatsoever,” Lead Stories reported, debunking this fabricated story.
