Overview

• Shane Daley was arrested and arraigned on August 13 in Albany federal court on a single federal cyberstalking count for allegedly leaving threatening voicemails to a family member of slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
• He was released under conditions requiring GPS monitoring, mandatory substance-abuse treatment and a no-contact order barring any communication with the Thompson family.
• Investigators say they tied Daley to the December 4–7 calls using phone records, an FBI warrant executed on July 30 that seized his cellphone, and an agent’s affidavit recognizing his voice.
• Prosecutors allege the messages expressed satisfaction over Thompson’s killing and threatened his children, statements denounced by Acting U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III and FBI Assistant Director Christopher G. Raia as terrorizing a grieving family.
• Daley faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and supervised release if convicted, and he is not accused of involvement in Thompson’s murder, which remains under separate prosecution against Luigi Mangione.
