The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he's just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they'll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they're now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.

Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats
I'm pretty sure it's already corporate policy to not question people abour fake bills or do anything to stop shoplifters (because insured and liability). Wouldn't be surprised if a new corporate policy crops up if something like that does happen
Hope so...
Anyone have a citation about the rat not getting the money? People keep saying that, but I haven't seen a single article posted about it.
this doesn't really add to the discussion, but i just wanted to say thanks for sharing a source. I feel like i don't see it enough, so i appreciate you taking the time to share it
both the arrest and conviction of the suspect
Makes perfect sense, but that's just a matter of time.
might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.
OK, so maybe they won't be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he's convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they're getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.
The tip didn't contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words "both" and "and" rather than "consequent" are explicit.
The rat won't be paid.

I don't have a citation. But I do believe that you'd normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.

This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.
I didn’t hear about this. Is there an article you can link or something?
This one was posted further up. The tl;dr is that because they didn't call the NYPD tip line, they definitely* won't get the $10,000 from them, barring major backlash that may make them walk that back.
The $50,000 from the FBI is up in the air, but is dependent on him getting convicted. There's some wording that someone else pointed to about the tip needing to lead to an arrest AND conviction, saying that because the tip itself only lead to the arrest, they won't be paid, but I'm uncertain about that.
I mentioned in another comment that if the 1% want us to keep snitching, these high profile situations kinda need to pay out.
The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.
That's why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.
People don't need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that's crazy and never think about it again
Until they're in a position to get a reward... They'll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up... Maybe it gives them pause.
$10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people...a chance at a $10k reward they've heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting
Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty
It's worth spreading some information, even to people that don't care

Police: Here's 10, thousand dollars! Thanks for the tip!
The fed: oh I see you made some extra money, Here's your entire one thousand dollars after tax!
How much money does a McDonald's employee in the US make to be in the 90% tax bracket? I'm jealous.

Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?
Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.
Lol of course there's stupid hoops like that.
So anybody who is out and about and sees a fugitive with a publicized reward should know...don't call 911. Call John Walsh, or pound sand.
Probably gotta call a specific extension that's only staffed from 10am to 2:30pm with a 2 hour lunch from 11:15 to 1:15 on the first and third weeks of the month and 12:15 to 2:15 on the other weeks.

Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.

This is why you don't snitch. The powers that be don't care about you, have no intention to do right by you, and will actively look for ways to avoid you after they are done with you.

Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.
If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.
