A Tale of Two Fragile Minds: Ryan & Luigi (Updates)
How a Regenerative Medicine CEO connects from Hawaii to Baltimore to Santa Monica
It would be difficult to figure out what exactly went through the minds of two of the more famous current suspects in American History. One can speculate, which is more than even friends of Ryan Wesley Routh or Luigi Mangione are willing, or able to do, despite their once meaningful associations. Those associations, unmentioned, though may prove to be much more telling.
Routh was looked at in prior discussions on this Substack. The high level is: Routh was a never-do-well that had run-ins with the law, never achieved what he obviously wanted, a successful business operation, and sought out acclaim while obsessing over geopolitics in recent years while in Hawaii. Based off his Twitter follows, and posts, Routh showed he supported Ukraine wholeheartedly. But he also had early follows that needed some unpacking.
One did that with Soo Kim, a “former” CIA analyst, now with the Rand Corporation and other D.C. based outlets. One delved deep into Kim and another Routh follow, Colin Zwirko that connected to war journalist Thomas Gibbons-Neff (who interviewed Routh), but one did not just stop there.
Update #1: 6 times missed, 40 Letters, 18 Cellphones (1 not his)
Next up was Anton Krucky - who one never published on, until now.
Anton Krucky
Krucky launched his Twitter handle in April 2009. Very little overt activity - but he listed that he is the CEO of Tissue Genesis, Inc. based out of Honolulu. This of course overlaps with Routh’s recent travails on the Big Island, started around 2018. By then, Krucky while still likely invested in Tissue Genesis, was now managing Hawaii’s homeless outreach according to a October 2022 long-form interview published. From Civil Beat:
The Civil Beat Editorial Board spoke Tuesday with Anton Krucky, the third director of the City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Community Services under Mayor Rick Blangiardi. This interview has been edited for length and clarity and for stories. Krucky began with an overview of his department, which has five divisions….
We have the Elderly Affairs Division…I also have a Customer Assistance Division, and this is the one you’re familiar with if I said Section 8 vouchers, right?…
Then we also have the Community Based Development Division, and they’re the people that do the HUD programs with all the (Community Development Block Grant) money, all the HOME money (HOME Investment Partnerships Act), the (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) money — the big federal programs. They’re also the group that manages the affordable housing plan. [My emphasis. Routh was a builder of Tiny Homes…]
I also have WorkHawaii, and (the division) is really probably one of the worst-kept secrets in the city…[T]hen we have the Grants In Aid department (Office of Grants Management) and that’s the one department where we don’t take federal money. We get the funds from the city. And it’s generally about $8 million to $10 million a year….[My emphasis.]
[Interviewer]: Okay, that’s a big kuleana, as they say, in five different areas. Ballpark, what’s your annual budget?
Well, I’d like to be up to 190 to 200 people, but I have about 165, 170 now. So we’re in the hiring process and it’s hard to say what my budget is because 88% of it’s federal dollars. And, you know, that’s ballooned up during the pandemic. So it could be anywhere from $200 million to $300 million in what we do.
Krucky has in his managerial hands a quarter billion dollars. Krucky was a former top IBM executive, after majoring in criminology and sociology. He co-founded and became CEO of the startup, Regenerative Medicine company by 2009 in Tissue Genesis (archive).
The Civil Beat interview does a deep dive into Krucky’s background, which gives hints to his skillsets, heritage, and family origins and background as well.
My family comes from Hawaii. I was born in Japan because of the Korean War, but my sisters were all born here and my mother’s from here. I’m part Hawaiian…[Emphasis: Military brat in his early/mid-70s now.]
I had to leave IBM because I had adopted a couple of children from Eastern Europe, and one of them had significant health issues…
while I was doing that, these guys from Tissue Genesis approached me. And so they had this idea of Tissue Genesis — regenerative medicine. Basically what they did was they had a technology that could extract your adipose tissue, which is your fat cells. They could process them in a device, and an hour later in a syringe, have your stem cells ready…I was helping them raise money to do that. And so we got congressionally directed funds from (the late) Senator (Daniel) Inouye. And then when we were deploying those funds, I thought maybe I’d be a shareholder and such. And I got the word from the senator’s office. “He’s really excited about this program. Maybe you and Senator (Ted) Stevens can replicate it in Alaska…[1990s-2000s time frame]
When I was a sociology and criminology major in school [early 1970s?], when you do statistics, if you do something similar in the method, the methodology — you can look at trends in it, what it looks like. It doesn’t have to be correct, but it’s similar in comparison…
Update #2: U of Maryland Grad & $19M in Dept. of Defense Contracts & San Francisco (IBM Engineer)
ORGENESIS, INC.
Tissue Genesis was acquired by Orgenesis in the late 2010s, or at the latest by 2021. Their SEC Filings reflected a fluid corporate structure and their product lines to date. A YouTube video (marketing pitch) for Orgenesis pitched a platform and service far beyond what their stock (ORGS) is capable of supporting. In August of 2021, Orgenesis stock was in the mid-70s. Now, its under a $1.
These crumbs all led to Santa Monica, California after a short detour nearby Johns Hopkins; right where Luigi grew up and attended the Gilman School.
[Luigi is attached to a prestigious Baltimore family with country clubs and connections to Nancy Pelosi’s past and futures. I have that Pelosi rabbit covered on my Twitter.]
Luigi Mangione
I am only going to include a New York Times write up and Luigi’s allegedly history in the 2020s. Their information traced Luigi to Santa Monica (TRUECAR) which is .5 miles from (ORGENESIS) and later, Hawaii (KRUCKY).
From NYT’s reporting:
Mr. Mangione’s profile said that he had worked as a software engineer at TrueCar, an online marketplace based in Santa Monica, Calif. The company said in a statement that he had not been an employee since 2023.
In recent years, Mr. Mangione lived for six months in Honolulu in a “co-living” space called Surfbreak that caters to remote workers.
R.J. Martin, the founder of Surfbreak, said that when he met Mr. Mangione in 2022, he was interviewing to be among the initial 20 or so occupants paying about $2,000 per month to share quarters.
Mr. Martin described Mr. Mangione as a smart, accomplished and upbeat engineer. “We look for people who are looking to give back. And he fit the bill. He was an ideal member for us,” Mr. Martin said.
But Mr. Mangione was suffering from painful back issues, he said. “His spine was kind of misaligned,” he said. “He said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half-inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve.”
Update #3: WAPO Pre NYC Timeline
Long-term back issues since birth: Spondylolisthesis
January 2022: Mangione was living at Surfbreak in Hawaii (remote work/living)
Circa 2023: TRUE CAR employment ended.
July 2023: He had a spinal fusion surgery
November 2023: Seemed content post-operation
Owner of Moped Garage, a store near Surfbreak, said that he sold Mangione a moped.
February 2024: In Japan, meets professional poker player Jun Obara
April-June 10 2024: Gurwinder Bhogal, a U.K.-based writer had interactions regarding social media curation
July-November 18, 2024: Off the radar according to family
November 18, 2024: Kathleen Mangione called the San Francisco police reporting him missing
Analysis & Speculation
Mangione’s Twitter has obviously grown since his arrest in Altoona, PA. His focuses are up to your analysis - but one has provided what one thinks are his obsessions based on cursory analysis of around 100 tweets in the diagram.
Without a definitive timeline (but a rough one above, that could be questionable) - where Luigi landed in California and Hawaii - it is hard to pinpoint if Krucky interacted with BOTH GENTLEMAN.
We do know Ryan followed Krucky (both worked on homelessness issues). Undoubtedly, Ryan knew about the Tissue Genesis Center in Honolulu as well.
Meanwhile, Luigi may have pursued treatment for his back - if he thought Tissue or Orgenesis had the product to do that. (One does not know.)
A second Krucky’s Twitter account came online in August 2024. Right after the 1st Trump shooting in July, and just a month before Routh’s stakeout of Mar-a-Lago for 12 hours.

You are an amazing investigator and you have uncovered something that is truly important. Is Hawaii becoming a training ground for domestic terrorists?
