a $50,000 reward

So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?

    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.

    That doesn’t seem like it’s enough money to pay an enormous hospital bill.

    So 0.5% of his reported $10+ million annually compensation package.

    Interesting that neither his colleagues nor family are chipping in to make this larger.

    They'd have better chances if they offered the former CEO's one month's pay.

    The fbi is now on the case for a murder of a man on the street. They wouldn't pull these resources for any other murder.

    This is a joke.

    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?

    Maybe someone will talk when they offer better insurance coverage.

    Also, many times reward money isn't paid due to 'reasons', like "yeah you gave legid info which led to the arrest, but we got the same information through other channels too". You get your reward money rejected like it's your insurance claim.

    The amount of grief and strife this man caused to countless families through the actions of his corporation are beyond calculation.

    50k won't even register.

    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

    How much for information related to literally any other unsolved murder in the US?

    Can anyone give even a bad reason for a reward this high that doesn't involve the wealth of the target? Just for the sake of it, I'll take even the most tortured argument that doesn't relate to the fact that he was a CEO.
