Many household objects can be used as weapons. Just saying.
Has anyone in law enforcement even done the first step here and put together a list of people who might have a reason to kill this guy? Lets get with the program here, cops.
10% of the country is gonna be one hell of a perp walk.
The company already has a list. They can just look through their denied claims pile... That shouldn't be too hard.
... Oh wait, that list is millions of people long.

CEOs around the world scrambling to hire security.
"Thompson lacked personal protection despite known risks."
Oh. Oh ho ho. That is an interesting bit of information.
Not the lacking personal protection. That does surprise me, but not a lot.
What does surprise me is the "despite known risks."
Was he that arrogant? Or do they, the powerful, greedy, and heartless, fear the wrong things?
Interesting to consider. The primal instinct to fear for ones life drives the most basic of biology. Is it possible, that this class of individuals lacks that fear? Or is it that there is something that fear more?
I think we all know the answer to that, of course. They fear losing power and wealth. That's quite a vulnerability. They protect that wealth and power more than their own life. I feel like I've heard about consequences to that.
