“Most of us don't have that much sympathy for someone who has caused the deaths of countless people. So it's unclear that a third of this medical company's claims have been denied. …About a third are denied. That's outrageous. That's twice the industry standard,” he said.
He is not the only online detective who refuses to participate in the investigation. And many on social media are happy to see it.
“I just want to remind everyone that the snitch will get stitches, and those stitches may not be covered by your insurance plan,” another person commented on the TikTok video.

“Certainly, I don't think these people are glorifying murder or agreeing with murder, but I think it speaks to what this is about and how frustrated people are. “The prices are incredibly high, health insurance itself is ridiculously expensive,” and when you try to use it, you throw in the fact that it's almost impossible. ” he said.
