Bizarre reason why McDonald's worker might not receive $60,000 reward for identifying Luigi Mangione
Luigi Mangione was arrested at the fast-food restaurant in Pennsylvania after a tip-off from an employee
The McDonald's restaurant employee who helped police trace a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO could be shortchanged out of the hefty $60,000 reward.
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.
I hope future snitches ur uhm "Tipsters", see the shell game they are playing with the reward!
Don't put up a reward poster, if you have no intentions of giving one.
Hey, maybe the reward has to go through the UHC claim system.
