Confirmed as fake. CNN reports: "YouTube on Monday removed three channels belonging to Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as well as a channel that was altered Monday to look as if it belonged to him..."

"... channel was removed for violating YouTube’s impersonation policies, after the channel name and handle were updated on Monday following news of Mangione’s arrest to appear as if it belonged to the suspect. That channel on Monday posted a cryptic countdown video that said, “If you see this, I’m already under arrest.”



Fine, confirmed as fake but he also had three real ones, "YouTube on Monday removed three channels belonging to Luigi Mangione ..."

What was the content in those channels and why were they removed?

All other online footprint of this guy is still online (even his github!), what content was there on YT to grant it being removed?

Lack of transparency will just generate more questions and doubt.


>All other online footprint of this guy is still online (even his github!)

Not true, Meta removed his Facebook and Instagram.

I guess that's one way to get a LOT of clicks on your account.
