Summary
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The gunman, who arrived in New York City on November 24th, shot Thompson on December 4th outside a hotel hosting an investor conference.
Investigators believe the gunman, who concealed his identity with a mask, fled the city on a bus, leaving behind a backpack in Central Park.
If I had information about the gunman, which I don’t, I’d be genuinely nervous about calling it in because then I’d become enemy #1 in America.
$50k isn’t going to keep me safe from the mob that wants to turn on whoever rats this guy out.
Also, I have a suspicion that a jury will be more sympathetic to the gunman than the CEO, so why risk my safety?
So still less than a year’s salary for COL in most states that is barely enough for a down payment on most houses.
Nope. No one should grovel and sell each other out for pennies even if I know people will do it for less if desperate.
So they went from .02% to .14% of his yearly take 🤣. They must not care very much about finding this guy
Another way to look at it is them trying to pit everyone against each other. “How much money will it take to get the 99% to turn on one of their own?”
lol my first instinct with police is that even IF you snitched and they caught the guy, they probably wouldn’t pay you and weasel out with some fine print.
Or worse yet, it’ll be some shit like “Hm, how did you know it was him? What are you hiding citizen? Bend over for the cavity search!”
How much do they usually offer for a normal person’s murder I wonder.
Thoughts and prayers
Not much
some mcdonalds nigga in PA snitched lmao
oh good. little bitch just earned a fucking pizza party

you could use that $50k to pay for one night at the hospital that your insurance won’t cover!
Or a few months of the medication that works for you but insurance will only cover the shittier alternatives.
I’m a broke bitch. And I had uhc insurance for around a year. They would deny almost any new prescription I would get for severe insomnia. They wanted to to pay like 400 bucks/month for belsomra. Even though i paid like 450/ month for said uhc coverage. I’ve had bcbs, bcbs of Oklahoma, kaiser and united and united was the worst by far. Bcbs is somewhat ok
If i saw or had info about the shooter, then no I didn’t. What guy? What gun? Nah fam my man’s tripped and fell on those bullets
a $50,000 reward
So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?
Doesn’t even include ambulance ride. City EMS is out of network for UHC
We had to pay a $2500 fee for the ambulance because my spouse got hit-and-run by a car outside of the county that we live in.
Only if your not denied (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
They’re gonna frog boil it and end up fucking it up.
100k from the start might have gotten someone to say something that would pay off.
But they’re being cheap and are going to slowly walk it up as I go gets less and less useful and a movement if not giving a fuck grows.
Hey, nobody ever claimed the FBI was good at doing its job.
Woah, the FBI is amazing at causing controversies, such as violating civil rights, unnecessary shoot outs, politicized investigations, and more!
Some things money cant buy.
The McDonald’s employee who reported him says otherwise.
Ong!
Can someone give context, is this the same reward that’s given for the other about 800 murders that happen each year in New York or is that guy getting special rich guy privileges beyond his death?
I just checked the NYPD’s most wanted list:
- Of the 33 posted photos, 31 of them are black men, 1 is a white man, 1 is a car.
- The maximum payout on all of them is $3,500
… Please feel free to draw your own conclusions about this CEO manhunt.
What… did the car… do?
Human Trafficing.
The $3,500 is for the car, right?
The payout for every tip they have listed is $3,500, so at least they’re not singling the car out.
What do you think?
Very first thought I had.
I watched videos of the FBI and their technology, but apparently all it takes to avoid them is to leave your phone behind, cycle with monopoly money and wear common inconspicuous clothing that covers you up? The fuck happened
It turns out most if not all of the advanced policing technology that gets touted is, you know, lies. They just want you to believe you can’t get away with it. Just look at how many godawful propaganda CSI shows there are - how often do they rely on magic databases containing the location of every flower shop cross referenced by geolocation and joined to the magic database of endangered beetle habitat? That’s a real example btw, bones is a terrible show.
Having worked with the police, the #1 way to get away with a crime is to just not tell anyone you did it. That’s it, that’s the whole secret.
CSI:
“Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! Enhance image! There! Whaddya know? That image looks just like that guy we already have in holding for being homeless”.And what people don’t understand is that if police choose NOT to use said technology because the case isn’t “worth” the money or they just don’t care.

Open Street Map has entered the chat
I wish it was that good. Hopefully someday.
Leaving your phone behind is a real killer for them
Would recommend not having a normal phone at all, graphene OS at minimum (sim or not is up to you)
Still leave it behind!
Duly noted, will not say anything incriminating here that the jandarma could catch but…
What’s this about monopoly money?
They supposedly found his backpack and it had a bunch of monopoly money in it lmao
This wont even pay for most surgeries that UHC denies regularly.
Here’s some info about the gunman: He’s cute.
Now where’s my $50000?Friendly reminder for the future that Trump’s FBI won’t pay you. Only promise to.
That doesn’t seem like it’s enough money to pay an enormous hospital bill.
