Conflicting Opinions on Mangione’s Eyebrows
In a heated discussion on a conspiracy theories subreddit, two hair stylists debated about the rapid growth of Mangione’s eyebrows.
One user, claiming to have 20 years of hairstyling experience, insisted, “No one’s eyebrows grow that fast in just three days. It’s common knowledge from the state board test that hair on your head grows about a quarter of an inch each month, and eyebrows grow even slower.”
In response, another user, also a hair stylist, argued, “I work with models, and lighting or facial expressions can create different shadows in photos. This man is trying to start a revolution, so let’s not twist it into a conspiracy against someone advocating for the people.”
Theories Surrounding the Number 286
Beyond the eyebrow debate, Mangione is also at the center of another popular conspiracy theory involving the number 286.
On his X profile, Mangione features the Pokémon Breloom, which is the 286th Pokémon. Interestingly, at the time of his arrest, he had posted exactly 286 times on X. Additionally, the number 286 is used by health insurance companies to indicate when appeal deadlines for a health care claim are missed.
Some TikTok users have even drawn a connection to the Bible, referencing Proverbs 28:6: “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.”
Discrepancies in Distance and Monopoly Connections
There are also claims circulating online that the distance between the shooting location and the McDonald’s where Mangione was seen is 286 miles. However, Google Maps shows the actual distance is 279 miles.
This particular McDonald’s location has sparked more conspiracy theories, as noted by a Reddit user who explored various ties to the board game Monopoly. They highlighted that the backpack found by police in Central Park contained Monopoly money. Additionally, Altoona, the home of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is featured in the game. The user also mentioned McDonald’s long-standing promotional campaign with Monopoly, which was temporarily halted due to a major fraud scandal involving several people, including an insider and Gennaro “Jerry” Colombo, who claimed ties to the Colombo crime family.
