$60,000 reward with a “terms and conditions apply, you ain’t never gonna see this money” asterisk is just about the most American thing ever. Everything is always a scam, no exceptions
Lmfao the tipster really thought their claim wouldn’t be denied
judas does not even get his silver …
They basically never pay out tip money if full. Even if you nail the guy with your tip, and he gets convicted, they always find a way that your tip was on 80% helpful or some shit.

honestly good, fuck that shithead

bourgeoisie showing their whole ass by not even rewarding the class traitors who help them. hopefully this story spreads far and wide and discourages future stitch-getters

our ruling class is so aggressively incompetent, it would be funny if we weren’t still losing

You can’t tell me they don’t have a sense of humor.
Best possible outcome would be for this guy to not get the money. Show future would be snitches that there’s no point
You would think that the feds would realize that it is in their interest to pay the person extremely publicly so that everyone knows that traitors get rewarded. Guess not.
If the snitch was very loudly and publicly given the money, they’d be spending it all on a stay in the hospital very soon afterwards.
i hope it was worth it, a life changing amount of money dangled in front of your face and the rules are so fucking obfuscating that you cant even be sure if you still qualify after reading the rules.
System is working as intended.
i bet they’re so disconnected that they didn’t even know that there was a reward.
60k is not life changing. It’ll just make life easier for a year or two
It would be life changing for me
It would pay the entirety of the median USAmerican rent for 3 years
Or half of a single emergency room visit. Which I think may be appropriate, considering the circumstances.
Okay. Easier for 3 years.
Life changing is not free rent for a few years.
Life changing is being removed from your immediate circumstances. 60k. At most would make life a bit more bearable
Nah, hold that L. That is enough to completely change the circumstances of a person working for fast food wages. I respect doubling down when you are wrong but you are still wrong.
60k is not a lot. It just isn’t. If you guys think it’s a lot cool. I don’t.
Also what’s the tax status on these rewards? Gift or taxable? If taxable even less
Also if it’s actually life changing does that mean you would of narcd if the amount was 100% going to be given to you?
I wouldn’t. If I had a kid though I don’t know if I could make such a principled stance. I would for sure commit heinous crimes for thst kinda money, I think most bank heists get less than that nowadays. 60K would fix every problem I have. New glasses, new shoes, car fixed, debits paid, with enough left over to start a new school or training program and have a vacation to celebrate with a small ammoint saved for emergencies. As most people have zero emergency savings and lots of probelms that would absolutely change my life.
Also if it’s actually life changing does that mean you would of narcd if the amount was 100% going to be given to you?
What
60K immediately would pay off a lot of debts one carries, so that’s pretty life changing in and of itself
Oh yes sure an entire two years’ pay, up front, isn’t life changing
You could at least start use it as a deposit on a flat, get a mortgage and pay equivalent of rent into it so you end up owning something
is this a bit?
Seriously, cops denying reward money is the oldest trick in the book. It’s embarrassing that the worker fell for it.
The McDonald’s worker said they saw Mangione around 9.15am ‘acting suspiciously’ in the restaurant, adding that he appeared to have fraudulent documents
What’s this about? I’m trying to think of why it would ever be necessary to show an ID at McDonald’s… so we might have a real super sleuth of an employee on our hands here! Were they really out there eyeing every table just in case a patron decided to lay out their fake IDs and forged documents like they were about to start vlogging? What foresight and dedication! It would be such a tragedy for the bravest and goodest hero who saved the day not to get their due reward, instead to fade away into history like they were never there in the first place…
Same comment from me:
The search then grew over the weekend ,as the FBI backed the NYPD in the investigation, adding an additional $50,000 to the pot, and hundreds of tips poured in.
The McDonald’s worker said they saw Mangione around 9.15am ‘acting suspiciously’ in the restaurant, adding that he appeared to have fraudulent documents.
Mangione was then arrested with five charges at the scene, as officers found he was in possession of fake IDs, a ‘ghost’ gun, silencer, clothes, and a mask matching the one that the suspected shooter was captured wearing.
I’m so tinfoil hat about it. Out of the hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of tips this one worked? A Greyhound from New York to California is 3 days straight? 4 or 5 with rest? So in essence the man could have been anywhere in the continental US - hell, anywhere on the globe and especially those parts where it’s hard to come into contact with a police department that gives a fuck. But in that McDonald’s in particular a man was acting strange? And wasn’t just told to fuck off? And the employee wasn’t just like “get the fuck out of my store” they were like “that guy looks just like that guy with the smile!” Why the fuck would he splay out his fake IDs and tell people about it? How suspicious are you acting in McDonald’s that they would search your car? What’s that? You had the same clothes, mask, and gun on your person? That’s even weirder!! No car? Throw your shit away!! As a matter of fact, go through the drive through and eat in the parking lot. It seems like a generational throw coupled with generational luck.
Mangione was then arrested with five charges at the scene, as officers found he was in possession of …clothes…
Damn, they really will just nail you for anything these days…
There’s so much about this that’s weird. Why did he still have all his shit on him? Why was he still so close? Hell, why was he just chilling at the McDonald’s? Take that shit to go & eat somewhere else! .
I’m split on whether this is a patsy or parallel construction. I think it’s more likely this is the guy & they just used some means they’d rather not share to find him, though I haven’t ruled out him just being a patsy (his comments about the money not being his). If he dies mysteriously in jail I’ll probably swing back to him being a patsy
Also this guy was living in Hawaii previously. That’s a pretty fucking ideal place to lay low.
this whole thing is off, like @[email protected] said this reeks of parallel construction
Luigi loses by not doing absolutely nothing.gif
But yeah, nothing about the official story makes any sense.
mcdonald’s workers out here authenticating motherfuckin’ documents and still not getting a living wage

Related - I really hate how most people write articles. Halfway in and there’s still no followup on the statement made by the headline. On top of that the headline is immediately repeated in the text and the premise is then restated several times.
We get the “bizzare rule” answered with the second to last sentenceSo, if the informant called 911 instead of Crime Stoppers, they might be unable to make the claim.
This is what the article is about, but you can’t get around to it until the very end because the article has to be written like an 8th graders essay
It’s written that way to increase ad impressions. I hate it with every fiber of my being.
That’s definitely a large part of it, but it is also just the US style. I see it much less in non-US publications. It probably has something to do with the US having an abysmal reading level.
Because US publications rely more on ads to generate revenue
everything a commodity, everything enshittified
It’s literally the opposite structure of the journalistic inverted pyramid format. Most relevant sentences go right at the top, further details below. Articles used to be intentionally written so you could stop reading at any point and walk away with most of the information.
But that doesn’t force you to stay on the page longer, generating half a cent of ad revenue for the publisher!
Yeah, it’s infuriating
the crime stoppers thing is only about the $10k from NY. this is what the article says about the FBI’s $50k
The rules are complicated, as they stipulate tipsters in with a chance of the FBI portion of the reward cannot nominate themselves.
This means the McDonald’s worker will have to be put forward by an investigating agency, such as the Department of Defense or the FBI, which is then reviewed by an interagency committee.
If approved, the suggestion is passed on to the Secretary of State, who signs off on the final decision.
so the FBI has to put the rat’s name forward and the secretary of state has to approve it. so what? I’m unconvinced they will screw over the rat given how public this story is, and fully convinced this article is clickbait trash
To steal a joke from @[email protected],
If you are a minority pell grant recipient who starts a business in a disadvantaged community that stays open for 3+ years, you may be eligible to be nominated to receive the “Snitch of the Year” award from the Department of Defense.

That’s a Felix bit.
