  • Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused in the slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has captivated the attention of social media, late-night shows, and online commentators as a "smouldering Italian American" sex symbol.

The article from the Washington Examiner discusses the case of Nima Momeni, a 38-year-old tech CEO accused of murdering Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App, in San Francisco.

Social media users have been posting memes and comments that sexualize and romanticize Momeni, focusing on his appearance rather than the crime he's accused of.
