The fake agent was immediately arrested and is scheduled to appear this Thursday before a federal court in Brooklyn, where he will be formally charged. Meanwhile, the case of Luigi Mangione continues to generate national attention, both due to the severity of the crime attributed to him—the murder of a top healthcare executive—and the possibility of whether the case will proceed under capital punishment charges.
