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.

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?"

omw to tell them I saw the dude on TV for my 50k

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I found him! I found Jesus behind the couch. Oh you were looking for Pete? Don't know man. Try taco bell. He might be getting a chalupa right now as we speak.

They should offer free healthcare instead.

you could use that $50k to pay for one night at the hospital that your insurance won't cover!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Or a few months of the medication that works for you but insurance will only cover the shittier alternatives.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

What’s this about monopoly money?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago

They supposedly found his backpack and it had a bunch of monopoly money in it lmao

Leaving your phone behind is a real killer for them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Duly noted, will not say anything incriminating here that the jandarma could catch but...

Where did the FBI get that money? Oh I see.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was OK to Cross State Lines with Weapons? Or is it only OK if you Kill Poor Democrats?

The FBI should save their money for the potential incoming asshole, Kash.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

Well the FBI is about to be shutdown in a month, so

There was no "gunman", Thompson was killed by his own greed. You should arrest him, but you can't because he's dead.

Money please!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

It'd be a little macabre, but I feel like it's pretty easy to handcuff a corpse...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

I saw him get on a jet ski at Rehoboth Beach, they should concentrate their searches in the Atlantic Ocean.
