At this point, we don't know if it's true or how true. The odds of them getting the whole $60k is very low, but they might eventually get something out of it, depending on if/when he's convicted, how much of it they decide to award, and how many other tipsters it would be split with. And then of course, after taxes are deducted!
Since the issue has gotten some publicity and people may be checking up on it, they're probably more likely to give them at least something in this case. But whatever the truth is doesn't matter much these days -- the article stating they might not get it is out there, got attention, and I'm saying it should get more attention. People shouldn't be fooled when they hear a number and believe they will actually just be handed all that money when they call in their tip.
Here y'go: free fries with your purchase of a BigMac. Thanks for supporting law enforcement.
