ByPeak Design CEO Peter Dering denied rumors the backpack company helped police identify suspect Luigi Mangione in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting.The CEO of a company that makes high-end backpacks said he and his employees have received threats after reports he contacted a police tip line when he spotted one of the company's bags in the surveillance video of the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Dering had told the Times in the December 5 story the person at the tip line who answered his call said there were "hundreds" of calls identifying the gray bag worn by alleged gunman Luigi Mangione as a Peak Design item. "What if somebody gave this to me as a gift and now I'm going to jail because they committed a crime, because you wanted to tell somebody that was my backpack? That is very scary," one TikTok user posted to the social media platform.
"Tracing purchases has been a law enforcement technique for decades. They can just get a warrant to access the data if the company refuses to," a TikTok user commented.
