Who Is Luigi Mangione?
AsThe New York Timesreported, Mangiones family has long been influential throughout Maryland.
His spine was kind of misaligned, Martin said.
He said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half-inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve.
But he was reportedly upfront about how inhibitive the pain was.
He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasnt possible, Martin said.
I remember him telling me that, and my heart just breaks.
After his first stint at Surfbreak, Mangione reportedly traveled back and forth between Hawaii and the East Coast.
Its believed that Mangione underwent a spinal fusion operation.
The banner photo of Mangiones Twitter account includes an X-ray image of one such reinforced spine.
Martin said he texted Mangione in May and June of this year, but Mangione did not respond.
(For instance, aTwitteraccount for a Luigi Mangione includes his college credentials, M.S.E.
in Computer Science @ Penn.)
Other posts corroborated the belief that Mangione underwent a spinal fusion surgery in July 2023.
This account, however, was quickly debunked as phony and suspended.
But it does seem that he has some ill will towards corporate America.
While the full contents of the document havent been released yet, some quotes have emerged via police officials.
