ACCUSED healthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione allegedly made around 20 sex tapes in a desire to be ogled in his own “porno empire” before his arrest.
The 26-year-old who has gained a cult-like following of screaming women fawning over his looks, is behind bars in New York as he faces charges for the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

After pleading not guilty in December, a bombshell claim by an insider alleges that there are “at least 20 videos of him having sex” as twisted Mangione “wanted to be watched.”
The insider spilled his secrets to RadarOnline about how the self-obsessed X-rated videos were cinema-level quality and that some of the women who feature in them are too scared to come forward.
“It wasn’t just some grainy, late-night mistake. It was perfect lighting, everything,” the source said.
“He wanted to be watched. He got off on it. There are at least 20 videos of him having sex.”
“But a lot of the girls are too afraid to come forward or tell anyone for fear they might get dragged into his case somehow.”
“People thought that he was this misunderstood genius, but no – he was filming everything like he was starring in his own private porno empire,” the source added.
“He wasn’t just reckless – he was putting on a show. And now, the show is over.”
Mangione also allegedly sent women unsolicited nude photos despite a friend claiming he was afraid of porn addiction that he believes stops men from meeting real-life women.
TWISTED FANS
Last month the accused killer received Valentine’s Day messages on social media and slews of fans with accounts dedicated to the Ivy League graduate gushed over his first court appearance.
Many gathered outside the Lower Manhattan courthouse on February 21 screaming to Mangione and wearing disturbing merchandise including images of him as Jesus.
Some have even had tattoos done from the CCTV footage of the assassination and the new claims about his sex life have only ramped up excitement about the so-called Robin Hood bad boy.
Mangione is facing state and federal charges in connection to the killing of CEO Brian Thompson, who was gunned down on a busy sidewalk in Midtown on December 4.
Shocking surveillance footage captured the moment a masked and hooded gunman snuck up behind the UnitedHealthcare chief executive and unloaded several shots.
Thompson died after being shot multiple times in the back and leg, New York Police said.
A major five-day manhunt was launched which ended in Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles west of the Hilton hotel where Thompson was assassinated.
Who is Luigi Mangione?
LUIGI Mangione, 26, was regarded as a beloved, clever and wealthy man by his family, friends and all who knew him.
He was born and raised in Maryland and graduated as the valedictorian from the private all-boys Gilman School in Baltimore.
He had no prior criminal history and was said to have been a model student, soccer player, and all-around athlete at high school.
One former student from the Gilman School told The U.S. Sun that Mangione was “popular” and had a “big circle of friends.”
“We went to the same school but didn’t really have the same friends. I’m really shocked by this whole thing,” the former student, who asked not to be identified, said.
“I think he played soccer, it was an all-boys school, so being a good athlete got you social currency for sure.”
Mangione graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied computer and information science, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He also got his masters from the Ivy League school.
Mangione was reportedly a data engineer at a car company in California before moving to Hawaii.
His cousin is also Republican Maryland State Delegate Nino Mangione.
Altoona police found Mangione in possession of a silencer, a 9mm ghost gun, and several fake identifications.
Cops also found with a three-page handwritten manifesto that slammed healthcare companies for putting profit above care, according to a federal indictment.
Thompson’s murder exposed divisions in America over the healthcare industry.
Many used it as a catalyst for change and others shockingly backed Mangione’s alleged actions – especially when his own health struggles emerged.

Mangione is currently behind bars at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being extradited from Pennsylvania to New York City.
The accused assassin is facing 11 state charges including murder and terror to which he pleaded not guilty on December 23.
‘OVERWHELMING’ SUPPORT
Thanking his fans for their support from behind bars, Mangione said in his first public statement that he was “overwhelmed and grateful” after receiving hundreds of letters and messages.
However, last month after his pre-trial court hearing, he and his team have had to beg fans to stop sending so much fan mail, notably photographs.
A statement on the FAQ page of his legal defense information website said: “Luigi is allowed to receive photos via Shutterfly and FreePrints in accordance with mail procedures while in custody.
“Due to the volume of photos, they could take longer than usual to be screened and shared.
“Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time.

“Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”
Despite his arrest being months ago, there is no sign of waivering support with over $641,000 raised by supporters for Mangione’s legal defense fund as of March 4.
The fundraiser, understood to have been set up by a group of anonymous people, reads: “This is a preemptive legal fundraiser for the suspect allegedly involved in the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO.
“We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right of fair legal representation.
“All proceeds will be sent directly to Luigi or, if he chooses to reject the funds, they will instead be donated to legal funds for other U.S political prisoners.”
Karen Friedman Agnifilo, his attorney, confirmed last month that the fund will be used in a bid to secure his freedom.
“Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support,” she said.
“My client plans on utilizing it to fight all three of the unprecedented cases against him.”
At the pre-trial hearing Agnifilo claimed her client is being “treated differently than other defendants” as she warned of prejudice to a fair trial and failed to get him moved from federal to state custody.
Mangione will next appear in court on March 19 for the federal charges against him.
Timeline of Brian Thompson’s murder
BRIAN Thompson, the 50-year-old CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was shot to death in Manhattan in an execution-like killing.
Here is everything we know about Thompson’s murder so far.
Monday, December 2 – Thompson travels from his home in Minnesota to New York City for an investor conference in Midtown Manhattan.
Wednesday, December 4, 6:45 am – Thompson walks from his hotel across the street to the New York Hilton Midtown and is murdered by a masked shooter. The execution was caught on surveillance, and the suspect was seen biking away toward Central Park. Cops spark a citywide search for the assassin.
11:30 am – Cops released disturbing images of the execution, offered a reward for information, and made a desperate plea for New Yorkers to keep their eyes out.
12:00 pm – Thompson’s estranged wife Paulette revealed her husband had been threatened before he was shot.
2:45 pm – Cops released more eerie images of the suspect ordering at Starbucks that partially revealed his face. The U.S. Sun confirmed the coffee shop was just two blocks away from the shooting, but it’s unclear when he stopped by.
December 5, 6 am – Reports claim the words “deny,” “dispose,” and “defend” were engraved on live rounds and shell casings left behind by the assassin. These words echo the book Delay, Deny, Defend, which is about the failings of the healthcare industry. The author of the book had no comment on the reports.
8 am– Cops raid a hostel in the Upper West Side of New York City where the suspect is said to have stayed. It’s believed he wore a mask for most of the time he was there.
11 am – A person of interest in Thompson’s murder is pictured. He’s wearing a hood in the photo, but his full face could be seen breaking into a beaming grin. Still, no arrests have been made in the investigation.
Afternoon – Law enforcement confirms the suspect arrived in New York City on a Greyhound bus on November 24. It’s also confirmed that the suspect dropped a burner cell phone near the scene of the shooting.
December 6, 3 pm – Police announce they believe the killer has left New York City via interstate bus. They release more surveillance footage that shows him taking a taxi to the George Washington Bridge Bus Station.
December 9 – Luigi Mangione, 26, is arrested as a “strong person of interest” at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was carrying a three-page manifesto, fake IDs, and a gun similar to the one used in Thompson’s murder.
