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

I don't feel like you need to ~~apologize for~~ excuse saying a heartfelt thank you with a text comment, just because it doesn't add to the discussion. We need more of this kindness in the world. ❤️

you can pry my kindness from my cold dead hands

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, well, that realy doesn't add anything to the discussion.

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.

And people say that McDonald's never produced anything delicious.

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.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was thinking the same thing. So why is everyone on Lemmy saying "The snitch didn't even get the money, so they did it for nothing!"

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

Because they didn't read any of the sources and just heard about the NYPD requirement that they call the tip line, which they didn't do, so unless there's some major backlash, they definitely won't be getting $10,000 of the reward.

The other $50,000 from the FBI we're all kinda assuming will have some other reason to not be paid out, but if we're being honest, if the 1% want us to continue turning on each other in the future, they're gonna have to let these high profile snitching cases go through.

"McDonald’s employee who called 911 in CEO’s shooting is eligible for a reward, but it will take time"

Yeah its good to be skeptical of something like this that everyone wants to be true.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

There isn't actually any citation for this, there is however a bunch of articles written pointing to the red tape around reward money and saying "maybe" he wont be paid. But so far I havnt seen anything that shows this as more than conjecture

Also this snitch not being paid would be the dumbest fucking move imaginable if their goal is to have murdering Capitalists not be the new trend.
