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.
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)
Preferably the one you hate the most. For example Tesco. In my country they as much as doubled the prices without their Clubcard, and they have these “discounts” on almost all products. I haven’t been there as a customer for quite a while. Most likely over a year or two.
But it’s also a bit personal.
They schedule inventories in the shop overlapping with the opening times. Now, this isn’t just the mistake of Tesco (we are a different company), but they do decide on the times. What I mean by in-shop is not in the warehouse, but actually where the customers are.
We are required to be accurate, sort the products on the shelves if there was a mess and face it. This is then checked by someone else. Facing needs to be done well, but slight inaccuracies in counts are accepted (1 or 2 items). Your speed is also measured, by the way.This is all OK, except that now there’s customers to fuck with it. They can take items, put them back, or just make a plain old mess. Plus you can’t guard all the shelves. Because of that, I was shocked when I was in Tesco like this for the first time. “If the customer takes something, ask them for barcodes and count of each item they’re taking, write those down on a piece of paper and report them to me.”
So… you’ll give me a piece of paper, right? RIGHT? (no.)Imagine that as a customer. Let’s say you take a few pens and are about to put them into your shopping cart, suddenly someone very much not from Tesco runs up to you “WAIT!! Can I see the items first? I need to write down the barcodes. Is this all you took? Ok. Um… do you… do you have some paper? No? Shit, please wait here, I’ll be right back! (One eternity passes) …”
THANKFULLY, I avoided that. There were only 2 parents who talked about having to buy some of those plastic book covers ASAP as the school year was just starting, but my scared and startled look, probably/hopefully looking like “Please don’t take those. Please…”, made them change their minds. I’ve heard one of them say something like “It’s busy here, let’s not bother them. We’ll try elsewhere.”
I assume this discourages a lot of night-time customers. But I’ll be fair, Billa also schedules such inventories.
Isn’t it fucked that they’re doing this for this guy just because he’s rich?
Yes, but also completely fucking unsurprising.
They’re doing it because the guy on the run crossed state lines. That makes it federal, so the FBI has jurisdiction and it’s easier for them to work cross-border than the NYPD. It’s getting more resources because it’s a highly publicized case. I’m sure there’s some pressure from some wealthy and/or powerful people as well to find whoever did it, but it’s not surprising that the FBI is involved now.
Thanks for info
And surely they offer $50k every time they believe a murder suspect has crossed state lines, right? Every single time?
Probably when it’s as important to them as thing given the reaction it got from the public
They offer money for a lot of cases, yes. Up to 5 million for most wanted.
Did you misread my question, or…?
Naw. They offer $5k for every fugitive and are involved in every case that crosses state lines.
Unless you mean the exactly 50k part, in which case they could just put him on the most wanted and make it 5 million because rich people. Hey, who knows, maybe they will.
We are all created equal. Some are created more equal than others.
+1 for the Orwell reference
I saw him at the Giant near me and we talked for a bit about best places to hide
5X upgrade in bounty from $10K offered by crime stoppers. Investigation must be drying up. Probably be up to 6 figures by end of month
The longer it takes, the less likely they’ll find him no matter how much money they put up.
But I thought the NY mayor said they “know his name” [yahoo]. 🤔
Hey NYPD, his last name is Ligma!
Even if the FBI does catch this guy, the Feds are still gonna have a helluva time trying to cobble together an impartial jury, not to mention alternatives. One question will eliminate a large portion of the jury pool…
“Do you currently, or previously had UHC as a health insurer?”
I could see this case having a hung jury or even seeing jury nullification occur - though it’s highly unlikely for nullification to happen.
The Feds will put ungodly amounts of pressure to accept a plea deal.
Edit: added the missing ‘y’ to ‘currently’ and added a space between ‘previously’ and 'had
Or they’ll make sure they don’t get him alive, like they did with Michael Reinoehl.
Ya, that is sadly the most likely outcome of all.
It’ll send a message to the masses that you won’t get your day in court for crimes against the ruling class, but you will still get a sentence… a bullet.
Right as the look a like contest was being held.
Time to hodl the info.
So they went from .02% to .14% of his yearly take 🤣. They must not care very much about finding this guy
Another way to look at it is them trying to pit everyone against each other. “How much money will it take to get the 99% to turn on one of their own?”
lol my first instinct with police is that even IF you snitched and they caught the guy, they probably wouldn’t pay you and weasel out with some fine print.
Or worse yet, it’ll be some shit like “Hm, how did you know it was him? What are you hiding citizen? Bend over for the cavity search!”
Not much
How much do they usually offer for a normal person’s murder I wonder.
Thoughts and prayers
I’m a broke bitch. And I had uhc insurance for around a year. They would deny almost any new prescription I would get for severe insomnia. They wanted to to pay like 400 bucks/month for belsomra. Even though i paid like 450/ month for said uhc coverage. I’ve had bcbs, bcbs of Oklahoma, kaiser and united and united was the worst by far. Bcbs is somewhat ok
If i saw or had info about the shooter, then no I didn’t. What guy? What gun? Nah fam my man’s tripped and fell on those bullets
I met him in the woods and he said he wanted to dig the world’s deepest dirt hole.
Maybe if they offered a course of chemo-therapy and cut it off after one round…
They’d probably get tips if the offer were for free lifetime healthcare at the quality he got.
Seems like they don’t want to find him. Good on them.
Damn, $50,000 - Gov really don’t like the idea of someone being able to kill a rich person and getting away with it
So 0.5% of his reported $10+ million annually compensation package.
Interesting that neither his colleagues nor family are chipping in to make this larger.
50,000 dollars is how much the fbi thinks people to turn on each other for
Why would they? That just eats into their profits. It doesn’t make them richer.
Yup. Dudes body was still warm on the pavement outside and they still had the conference like our was a normal Tuesday. The wealthy are disgusting people. Rotten all the way to the core. They actually think they are the reason society functions.
They are in for a rude awakening. Trump is going to destroy what ever remains of the middle and poor classes, and in response we are going to eat the rich.
I was driving through rural Tennessee today and I’m pretty sure I saw him at a gas station.
I have a friend in Iowa who said the same thing.
Man this guy really goes places
New conspiracy theory. He is big foot
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 in Outer Mongolia today.
a $50,000 reward
So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?
Doesn’t even include ambulance ride. City EMS is out of network for UHC
We had to pay a $2500 fee for the ambulance because my spouse got hit-and-run by a car outside of the county that we live in.
Only if your not denied (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
They’re gonna frog boil it and end up fucking it up.
100k from the start might have gotten someone to say something that would pay off.
But they’re being cheap and are going to slowly walk it up as I go gets less and less useful and a movement if not giving a fuck grows.
Hey, nobody ever claimed the FBI was good at doing its job.
Woah, the FBI is amazing at causing controversies, such as violating civil rights, unnecessary shoot outs, politicized investigations, and more!
Some things money cant buy.
The McDonald’s employee who reported him says otherwise.
Ong!
This wont even pay for most surgeries that UHC denies regularly.
