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.

Excludes rejected insurance claims for lost limbs already.

Where did the FBI get that money? Oh I see.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

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?

The FBI should save their money for the potential incoming asshole, Kash.

I'm a broke bitch. And I had uhc insurance for around a year. They would deny almost any new prescription I would get for severe insomnia. They wanted to to pay like 400 bucks/month for belsomra. Even though i paid like 450/ month for said uhc coverage. I've had bcbs, bcbs of Oklahoma, kaiser and united and united was the worst by far. Bcbs is somewhat ok

If i saw or had info about the shooter, then no I didn't. What guy? What gun? Nah fam my man's tripped and fell on those bullets

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

He got out 🙌🏽

[–] Old_Yharnam@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I saw him at the Giant near me and we talked for a bit about best places to hide

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Here's some info about the gunman: He's cute.
Now where's my $50000?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Friendly reminder for the future that Trump's FBI won't pay you. Only promise to.
