Disagree. This is someone with some training who lost a family member to the denial of healthcare. Losing money doesn’t produce murderous rage. Losing family does.

The LOL part is that narrows down the suspect list to millions

Losing money absolutely does provoke murderous rage, in some people. That's how we wound up living in a reality with billionaires to begin with.

If they’re an investor they already have money. Why ruin a good life? This was the act of someone with nothing to lose.
