McDonald’s Worker May Get $60K Bounty…Eventually

December 12, 2024 Crime, New York City

The Washington Post reports:

The pool of money, which includes $50,000 from the FBI and $10,000 from New York Police Department Crime Stoppers, could be awarded to an unidentified fast food worker, who called 911 after recognizing 26-year-old Luigi Mangione inside a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Federal agencies require a conviction before payment, but local Crime Stoppers units might offer the reward if the information — given that it was useful to the investigation — leads to an arrest or solves a case.

In the Mangione case, the New York City Police Foundation, which supports NYPD Crime Stoppers, will require an arrest and conviction because NYPD increased the reward to $10,000 from its usual maximum of $3,500. The FBI rewards process will require an arrest and conviction for payment in cases like Mangione’s. Tipsters must be nominated by an investigative agency in recognition of their contributions, which is followed by a review from an “interagency committee.”
