    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.

          I don’t feel like you need to apologize for excuse saying a heartfelt thank you with a text comment, just because it doesn’t add to the discussion. We need more of this kindness in the world. ❤️

        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.
