$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

1. honestly good, fuck that shithead

2. 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

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

Death to America

Best possible outcome would be for this guy to not get the money. Show future would be snitches that there's no point

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.

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 sentence

So, 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

The tip-off from the employee is apparently crucial in the case, but the question remains if the worker will be able to cash in on the $60k reward at all. 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.

If that's not tough enough, the full reward amount could also be in dispute as payment amounts are based on factors from the value of the information provided, the level of threat, the severity of danger or injury to people or property, and the degree of the source's cooperation. As for the NYPD's $10k, the rewards program is granted through Crime Stoppers, where tipsters receive a unique reference number.

This number is crucial as the tipster has to use it call back or check the status of the investigation online before lodging a claim with the NYC Police Foundation and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors, who ultimately decide whether to approve the tip and instruct the caller how to receive it. So, if the informant called 911 instead of Crime Stoppers, they might be unable to make the claim.

In both cases, the rewards will only be paid out if the arrest leads to indictment or conviction from the court - so the McDonald's employee could be waiting a while and even at the end of it all, might not even get a dime.

Class traitors praying porky doesn't alter the deal any further

Lmfao the tipster really thought their claim wouldn't be denied

How much you want to bet that since the snitch was at work when they made the call they're going to pull some bullshit like that means it was technically McDonalds that reported the crime so any reward money that does end up getting paid out goes to the company instead.

To steal a joke from @LeninsBeard@hexbear.net,

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.

FBI doesn’t reward snitches.

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...

They may as well have bought some scratch-offs

Seriously, cops denying reward money is the oldest trick in the book. It's embarrassing that the worker fell for it.

lmao, fucking hilarious.

reminds me of a quote from a movie where a single team of two hitmen are sent to kill a witness and an attorney 4+ hours apart to protect a hundred billion dollar deep state corruption scheme. to their credit, they are pros and make the first hit look like an accident. but it makes the news and the second target is extremely twitchy, paranoid, and rabbits immediately. so when the hitmen show up at his place and realize he ditched all his electronics and split 4 hours ago, one of the guys says with frustration, "we told them this job would take 2 teams. it's amazing where these guys try to cut costs."

Good. Snitches don't deserve shit.

Cursed bit idea: the reward money goes to the responding because of technicalities

I always kind of assumed that tip money was a scam. Glad to have that confirmed.

Ngl I hope that McDonald’s worker finds themselves beat up and thrown in a ditch. Not killed but seriously injured and understanding what “snitches get stitches” means.

Seriously, fuck you, you’re a monster.

It would be really funny if, during the trial, the McDonald's employee's testimony suddenly changes.

lmfao get fucked, traitor

judas does not even get his silver ...

Hope it was worth it, asshole.

"claim denied"

Rug Pull but for reward money ratting out a hero.

owned lmao
