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.

Can someone give context, is this the same reward that's given for the other about 800 murders that happen each year in New York or is that guy getting special rich guy privileges beyond his death?

I just checked the NYPD's most wanted list:

  • Of the 33 posted photos, 31 of them are black men, 1 is a white man, 1 is a car.
  • The maximum payout on all of them is $3,500

... Please feel free to draw your own conclusions about this CEO manhunt.

The $3,500 is for the car, right?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The payout for every tip they have listed is $3,500, so at least they're not singling the car out.
