    Did they seriously not give the snitch the bounty? Can anyone provide official news story on this?

      Conviction is required, and the informant needs formal recognition by the FBI as a recognized informant first. Karen just called 911, forfeiting the reward.

        Lol of course there’s stupid hoops like that.

        So anybody who is out and about and sees a fugitive with a publicized reward should know…don’t call 911. Call John Walsh, or pound sand.

        Probably gotta call a specific extension that’s only staffed from 10am to 2:30pm with a 2 hour lunch from 11:15 to 1:15 on the first and third weeks of the month and 12:15 to 2:15 on the other weeks.

        FWIW, it was an old (maybe 70s?) white male customer, not an employee, and not a woman. One of the news sources had video, but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it after reading the transcript. (Basically, “I seen” ie. probably voted Trump.)

        EDIT: I’m looking for the source again. If i find it I’ll remove the strikethrough. If not, I’ll delete as I don’t want to spew any misinformation.

      That’s hillarious. If this were a movie I’d call it bad writing. Heck almost any editor in the world would have it changed to a scene where the snitch is suddenly blinged the fuck out.

      Iirc they never actually pay the reward in almost every reward poster for one reason or another.
