I Told You So!

I warned them: Deny. Defend. Depose. That was the playbook. Seven months later, they’re walking it step by step—and pretending it’s original.

On December 10, I made a prediction.

I said that if UnitedHealthcare was ever forced to face real accountability for what they did to me—for the metadata profiling, the post-surgical care denials, the reputational silencing, and the unauthorized police disclosures—they would follow the same pattern:

Deny everything. Defend with spin, stall tactics, and legal procedure. Depose the victim—in this case, me.

This wasn’t just a guess. It was a forensic model built from patterns I had already traced in their behavior, policy inconsistencies, and refusal to engage. This was always how they were going to respond. Not because I imagined it—but because I watched them do it to others. The only difference is: I recorded everything. I prepared for it.

That prediction is aging like evidence. “She Went to the Police”? No. They Did. Let’s get one thing clear: I never initiated contact with law enforcement. I never picked up a phone to call the police. I never filed a report. I never consented to my medical history being sent to any law enforcement entity. I didn’t open that door. They did. UnitedHealthcare disclosed my private health data to police without my consent, without legal justification, and without even notifying me. It wasn’t a clerical error. It was a reputational strategy. I know because the police themselves admitted that metadata-based referrals were made. That’s not neutral. That’s surveillance-adjacent retaliation. And if anyone tries to spin this into “she went to the police, then cried about it”—they will face legal consequences.

That’s not just a smear—it’s defamation per se. It falsely accuses me of hypocrisy, of exploiting the system, of faking victimhood. It suggests emotional instability and weaponized deception. And it undermines the core of my complaint by fabricating causality where there was none. I saw this deflection strategy coming on December 10. It’s already countered, preserved, and rebutted—publicly and on record.

I Didn’t File a Complaint. I Filed a Trap.

This isn’t a reactive lawsuit. It’s a diagnostic blueprint.

The document I will file in court isn’t just a record of harm—it’s a predictive trap. Every count, every citation, every evidentiary claim is paired with an anticipatory rebuttal. I knew what motions they would try. I knew what defenses they’d lean on. I knew what discovery paths they would abuse to try to bury me under my own trauma.

So I pre-wrote the countermeasures. It’s all embedded in the language: They’ll say my trauma is just emotional? I framed it through observable harm, not treatment records.

They’ll say my claims are too vague? I included metadata timelines, denial windows, and documentary evidence.

They’ll try to subpoena my therapist? I filed a protective order first. They’ll try HIPAA preemption? I invoked state-level statutes immune to it. They think they’re playing chess.

What they don’t realize is—they’re stepping into a script I wrote months ago. They’re not improvising. They’re following directions. And those directions end with discovery that turns their own internal systems into evidence. Metadata Isn’t a Conspiracy. It’s a Receipt.

They will say it sounds too cinematic—too calculated. That no insurer would track voiceprints, escalate sentiment flags, or profile risk by tone. But they already did.

From the moment I became “too vocal,” their pattern changed. Denials ramped. Referrals occurred. Notes disappeared. The AI models, the CRM logic, the escalation tiers—they all kicked in.

And I noticed. Because metadata doesn’t lie.

I kept timestamps. I kept PDFs. I kept pharmacy records and call logs and customer service contradictions. I listened to how their language changed after I started raising concerns. I watched how quickly I went from “eligible” to “excluded.”

When they say it’s a theory? I will say: Here is the timestamp. Here is the call log. Here is the denial code. Here is the 28-day drug supply denied 14 days after surgery.

They thought I was paranoid.

They didn’t realize I was archiving . Deny. Defend. Depose.

When I first said it, I meant it as a warning.

Now it’s a live broadcast of their strategy.

We are entering the deposition phase—the part where they will stop pretending to be neutral and start weaponizing silence, cost, and character distortion. They’ll try to depose me, exhaust me, smear me, and intimidate any future litigant from doing what I’m doing right now.

They will come for my records. My relationships. My history. They will try to reduce me to a list of diagnoses and dismiss me through pathology.

But they don’t know: the doors to my trauma are already sealed. And every time they try to kick one open, they will trip another wire I placed months in advance.

This isn’t paranoia.

This is procedural architecture.

This Isn’t Reaction. It’s Retaliation Mapping.

This case isn’t just about what they did to me. It’s about how they do it to anyone who dares to fight back.

Administrative erasure isn’t a headline. It’s a pattern. A system. And now that it’s mapped, it can’t be denied.

I didn’t survive this to heal in silence. I survived it to document what happens when healthcare systems start playing defense before you even speak.

If I anticipated their defenses months before they ever raised them—maybe I’m not paranoid. Maybe I’m just telling the truth.

So when they deny? I’ll show the receipts.

When they defend? I’ll show the prediction.

When they try to depose me? I’ll show the world what they’re afraid will come out in discovery.

Because this isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s a surveillance map of corporate retaliation. And every move they make is another confirmation that I was right.

One filing at a time.

The Words on the Bullets: “Deny. Defend. Depose.” Enters National Consciousness

🧷 The Words on the Bullets: “Deny. Defend. Depose.” Enters National Consciousness

On December 5, 2024, journalist Ivy Griffith published a viral report titled
“Deny, Defend, Depose” May Have Been Found on Bullets From UnitedHealthcare Shooting — Here's the Meaning.
The article explores the chilling possibility that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not only targeted—but that his killer left behind a message:

Deny. Defend. Depose.
Engraved into bullet casings.

Immediately, speculation ignited across Reddit, Twitter, and news outlets. But one Redditor, Vulkyria, provided context that struck a cultural nerve:

“It’s a change-up of the book title,
Delay. Deny. Defend.
Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.
by Jay M. Feinman.”

They concluded:

“This is the beginning of the resistance.
It should be turned into a bumper sticker.
Deny. Defend. Depose. Repeat.”


The Phrase Is Now National

This article marks a turning point:

The phrase “Deny. Defend. Depose.” has entered the national vocabulary—through tragedy, through anger, and through recognition.

Ivy Griffith’s reporting confirms what many of us have lived firsthand:

  • The phrase is not random.
  • The phrase has a history.
  • The phrase is being read, understood, and repeated—because it names something real.

Echoes of Feinman. Echoes of the System.

As Griffith notes, the phrase echoes legal scholar Jay M. Feinman’s seminal book:
Delay. Deny. Defend. — a definitive analysis of how insurers systematically obstruct policyholders.

The alleged shooter’s altered phrasing—“Deny. Defend. Depose.”—tightens that formula into a courtroom escalation strategy.
It exposes how the industry transforms suffering into policy—and policy into a wall no ordinary person can scale.


Protest or Warning?

While the attack has rightly been condemned, the presence of these words at the crime scene has opened a dangerous question:
Was this simply a slogan—or a verdict?

Griffith quotes both fear and fascination. While New York officials worked to assure the public this was a “targeted attack,” the phrase itself sparked broader dread—not just of more violence, but of what the words reflect.

“Deny. Defend. Depose.” has now crossed from litigation strategy to cultural symbol.
And no one—not UnitedHealthcare, not law enforcement, not the public—can claim it’s unfamiliar.
