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.

they're desperately fishing for info from homeless people. because $50K is a king's ransom when you're sitting on $0

they would be inundated with bogus "tips" if the reward were $5.00

all of this just demonstrates that they don't have the first goddamn clue

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

Seems like they don't want to find him. Good on them.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe if they offered a course of chemo-therapy and cut it off after one round...

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

So still less than a year's salary for COL in most states that is barely enough for a down payment on most houses.

Nope. No one should grovel and sell each other out for pennies even if I know people will do it for less if desperate.

[–] Rade0nfighter@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Is this a lot? Like what’s the average reward for someone who shoots someone dead in America?

The least I would do it for is 1 million, or a little over 1 single month of his outrageous salary. You would think 1 month of pay is easy to offer.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He is in Washington Square Park, dozens of them!

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!

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have it on good opinion that he's a white guy.
