If you are desperate for money, you could always shoplift at a corporate chain (make sure its not a mom&pop small bussiness) rather than turning on your fellow man.

(Edit: Not saying that you should shoplift, but its still better than turning in the perpetrator)

a $50,000 reward

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

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