I have information.
It's all untrue, I just want $50k.
It's still information, tho.

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.
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.
We are all Robert Paulson.
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.
They might want to add a few zeroes to that number of they expect to actually get anywhere.
Breaking: FBI now offering $00050,000. Any takers?
Is this a lot? Like what’s the average reward for someone who shoots someone dead in America?
Well, considering that Americans have to pay for health insurance in one way shape or form, and it likely comes out of their paycheck every month if they get benefits, no. It's not.
Because we all have to pay an ass load of what we worked for for something we don't necessarily need at the moment, but when we do, we'd really fucking like to.
In 2012 the total bill a relative got for their heart attack (or maybe stroke, I can't remember it was bad) was $2m. Had they not had insurance that covered it, that's how much debt they'd be in. In 2012. Fast forward to now. Yeah, a lot of insurance covers stuff like that. But a lot of people only have the insurance that covers absolutely the bare minimum.
Which is how you end up with people having poor health, subsequent heart attacks, or strokes, etc. Preventative medicine would keep those far rarer than they currently are.
So, no. $50k isn't a lot. Its an insult. It's an insult to the $20k/year people pay for something they can't use. Instead that $20k/year could go to a universal health system where you don't wait until you end up in the ER to get medical care. It's an insult to the people who are saddled in medical debt by denied claims. Its an insult to doctors who give the care a patient needs. It's an insult to the healthy people who understand they aren't invulnerable.

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.
Being a psychopath is a preexisting condition to getting murdered so we are going to have to deny that
Where did the FBI get that money? Oh I see.
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!

I have it on good opinion that he's a white guy.
And he may have both arms. For some reason i feel like thats important.

If I had information about the gunman, which I don't, I'd be genuinely nervous about calling it in because then I'd become enemy #1 in America.
$50k isn't going to keep me safe from the mob that wants to turn on whoever rats this guy out.
Also, I have a suspicion that a jury will be more sympathetic to the gunman than the CEO, so why risk my safety?
