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!"

How much do they usually offer for a normal person's murder I wonder.
