Article titled “Bizarre reason why McDonald’s worker might not receive $60,000 reward for identifying Luigi Mangione” and a comment reading “a Byzantine system of arbitrary rules designed to keep people from successfully claiming what was promised to them???”

Good. Fucking class traitor will get what he deserves, which is nothing at all
If you were on minimum wage, and were offered 60k, you wouldn’t take it?
And don’t say “I’D neVer bE a bOotLicKing tRaitor!!” because that’s bullshit. Most of you would do it, you’re just brave behind a keyboard.
I genuinely think I’d keep my mouth shut and attempt to help the guy.
I would have taken him in ffs. The dude is the martyr that is sparking the change this country needs. He said “fuck trimming the branches” and ripped out one of the damn roots.
The whole system needs to be over turned and stomped on so the real workers remain and all the profiteering jackoffs bite the dust. I’m even politically conservative and believe in true regulated capitalism; what we have is not that, and it won’t change until you cut the head and bleed it out.
I’ve worked at McDonald’s when I was in college and sometimes would go days without eating.
I can confidently say if I saw Luigi I’d tell him he could hide out at my place and if tell Bowser he’s in another castle.
I don’t even live in the USA anymore, but fuck you. Not all poor people lack dignity for what’s right.
Outed yourself here
It doesn’t even have to be a moral thing. Anyone who spends much time online should know that drawing the ire of the many people who have voiced support for him might be a bad idea. I read it was an elderly woman, so that checks out.
The greed is mind boggling. The Heathcare CEOs should be racing to pay up the snitchline bounty, or even increase it. Regulatory fines are seen as a ‘cost of doing business’ but these ghouls cannot see past their own greed to understand how this hurts them, over 0.00026% of their 2023 profit. UHC alone rakes in over $2.6 million in PROFIT not income per day - this money is a blip on the financials to them. And so are our lives.
“health companies spent more than any other sector in 2023 with federal lobbying spending topping $739 million for the year.”
Health industries are also top spenders at the state level, according to the report, “continuing a trend that started in 2019.”
Judas must be fuming.
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 $10k, the rewards program is granted through Crime Stoppers, where tipsters receive a unique reference number.
This number is crucial as the tipster has to use it call back or check the status of the investigation online before lodging a claim with the NYC Police Foundation and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors, who ultimately decide whether to approve the tip and instruct the caller how to receive it.
So, if the informant called 911 instead of Crime Stoppers, they might be unable to make the claim.
In both cases, the rewards will only be paid out if the arrest leads to indictment or conviction from the court - so the McDonald’s employee could be waiting a while and even at the end of it all, might not even get a dime.
bizarreTotally unsurprising
60,000$ is also such a tiny amount of money for the nypd. that’s half the cost of the average lawsuit settlement for them. if they skipped one of their 2.6 daily lawsuits they could triple the reward. or maybe they could just get rid of that one guy that cost them 110 million dollars in settlements.
Everyone was right!
And this is exactly why we see these sovcit crazies…
They see this sort of BS and then believe the entire world is built around secret codes and BS legal mumbo-jumbo. If you manage to crack the combination, you are set - and the reason this filthy scab didn’t get paid is because they didn’t have the correct paperwork - which in this case is basically true!
Who could have seen this coming
Greedy liars act greedy and lie? Shocking, I say! Truly shocking!
wtf is Unilad?
I don’t get it - you just posted to say an article exists, but no link to it - how is that worth posting?
And people are like, “Ooooh I need to comment on this!” - comment on what?
Thanks
