The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he's just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they'll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they're now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.

I hope someone put the dude face on the internet so everyone knows where to spit when they pass by him
Wait for the next step: the franchise fires the employee because of several 1 star reviews and death threats
I'm pretty sure it's already corporate policy to not question people abour fake bills or do anything to stop shoplifters (because insured and liability). Wouldn't be surprised if a new corporate policy crops up if something like that does happen
Hope so...
Police: Here's 10, thousand dollars! Thanks for the tip!
The fed: oh I see you made some extra money, Here's your entire one thousand dollars after tax!
How much money does a McDonald's employee in the US make to be in the 90% tax bracket? I'm jealous.
Sales tax: yes that'll be 11% thanks!
Anyone have a citation about the rat not getting the money? People keep saying that, but I haven't seen a single article posted about it.
And people say that McDonald's never produced anything delicious.
this doesn't really add to the discussion, but i just wanted to say thanks for sharing a source. I feel like i don't see it enough, so i appreciate you taking the time to share it
both the arrest and conviction of the suspect
Makes perfect sense, but that's just a matter of time.
might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.
OK, so maybe they won't be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he's convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they're getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.
The tip didn't contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words "both" and "and" rather than "consequent" are explicit.
The rat won't be paid.
I don't have a citation. But I do believe that you'd normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.
I was thinking the same thing. So why is everyone on Lemmy saying "The snitch didn't even get the money, so they did it for nothing!"
Because they didn't read any of the sources and just heard about the NYPD requirement that they call the tip line, which they didn't do, so unless there's some major backlash, they definitely won't be getting $10,000 of the reward.
The other $50,000 from the FBI we're all kinda assuming will have some other reason to not be paid out, but if we're being honest, if the 1% want us to continue turning on each other in the future, they're gonna have to let these high profile snitching cases go through.
