Shein is investigating after unknowingly using a photo of Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to model a shirt on their website. The image, sourced from a third-party vendor, was quickly removed. Shein stated they have strict standards and are reviewing their monitoring processes to prevent similar incidents. The origin of the image and whether AI was involved remains unclear. Mangione has pleaded not guilty, and the death penalty is being sought by prosecutors.
