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.

Being a psychopath is a preexisting condition to getting murdered so we are going to have to deny that

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

I have information.

It's all untrue, I just want $50k.

It's still information, tho.

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?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Very first thought I had.

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.

If I was rich I would counter offer 55k to not squeal.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't squeal, and I can prove it. I haven't even been in contact with the FBI! Now pay up.

Besides the obvious issue above, I'm also pretty sure that it would be obstruction of justice.

Even low balling people on the fucking reward money. Cheap fucks.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

I met him in the woods and he said he wanted to dig the world's deepest dirt hole.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How many pieces of silver is that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Way more than 30, I know that much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How many pieces, adjusted for inflation?

I saw him at the Giant near me and we talked for a bit about best places to hide

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was driving through rural Tennessee today and I’m pretty sure I saw him at a gas station.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a friend in Iowa who said the same thing.

Man this guy really goes places

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Patient creature this big foot, waited for the right time in the woods, shaved it all off and came incognito to NYC.

I saw him get on a submarine in the great lakes. They should concentrate their search in the waters.
