Why McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione might not get the $60K reward
The NYPD and FBI offered a joint $60,000 reward during the manhunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer — but it wasn’t immediately clear who, if anyone, would get the cash now that an arrest has been made.
Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after a McDonald’s employee spotted him eating at the fast food restaurant and called 911.
According to FBI rules, a tipster can’t nominate themselves to collect the reward — meaning the employee would have to be put forward by an investigating agency.
