Summary
McDonald’s locations in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and Altoona, Iowa, were flooded with false 1-star reviews after the arrest of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s suspected killer at an Altoona, PA, McDonald’s.
Users posted claims of rats, poor service, and references to the employee who reported the suspect.
Some reviews mocked the arrest, calling the location “Narc-donalds” and joking about the staff’s actions.
The surge in reviews appears to be a mix of humor and criticism tied to the high-profile arrest.

That’s still just a chore for the local firefighters. The employee walking away with their $50,000 reward probably won’t care that their minimum wage workplace got burned down.
What reward? They didn’t get shit.
Is it confirmed that the person didn’t get the $50k reward that was posted?
Not 100% until the dust settles, especially given the amount of attention on this story. Someone might pull some levers and get it done for posterity.
But at the same time, yes. At this point the /tipster/ didn’t report using the Crime Stoppers line, they called 911. So no Crime Stoppers bounty for them, so say the rules of our corporate masters.
Better luck next time snitches, or just don’t help the rich because they’ll never have your back!

They’ll care when they need a job again after burning through that 50k. Which might take, oh… about as long as it takes to rebuild a McDonald’s.
I’d argue the original act is far more effective at sending a message
It’s in a mall.
That does complocate things
