Overview
- TMZ reports, and other outlets note, that supporters have deposited about $40,000 into Luigi Mangione’s commissary account at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
- Spending is constrained by a reported $160-per-visit commissary cap, despite the large balance detailed by the jailhouse-source-based reporting.
- A source cited by TMZ says Mangione is receiving roughly 100 to 200 letters daily, including sexually explicit notes from admirers.
- His legal defense fund on GiveSendGo has raised more than $1.3 million, according to The Independent, reflecting unusually broad outside support.
- Mangione has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges stemming from the December 2024 shooting, with prosecutors citing possible healthcare-industry anger as motive and New York’s earlier terrorism charge since dropped.
