I think I was at $16k with a family of 6 with UHC. I basically finance everything. It's madness. My wife and I rarely get healthcare because nothing is covered.
Yes. Forgive me, but my question was rhetorical. We could create a laundry list of astronomically overpaid positions in companies that are *in theory* supposed to help people. But alas, every single type of insurance is a scam we’re obligated by law to give money to.
According to the NYPD stats they had 23 murders over a 28 day period. I have to wonder, did any of those other murders get a 10,000$ reward? Or just the rich guy?
i read that his net worth was ~43m, based mostly on stock ownership. that's difficult to believe if he was receiving $10m in annual salary. but he certainly wasn't a billy. that being said, i'm positive he did more immediately qualifiable harm to individual americans than the titan sub guy.
Which brings up a point. Who pays these rewards? The tax payers? Or the victims family? If the first one, it’s super fucked up that only the rich guy that’s the bounty, (assuming poor people don’t get rewards) because we’re all the ones paying for it and richie mc richersoms family can more than afford it and more.
Crime Stoppers rewards are paid for by private donations and fundraising from the community. They hold many "events" that raise money through out the year. It's mainly rich donors at these events(I have worked a few of them) and they just wanna out bid their other rich friends not really help anything.
Most of those in my state (NY) are rewards for info leading to... arrest or conviction, I think it's the latter but I'm not sure. So you'd need someone willing to do hard time for about a month of pay

If I had money I'd offer $100,000 for people to keep their mouth shut:
"Yeah, he lives in my apartment building; here's a photo of us at a Mets game.
Me; "Yep, that looks like him; will you take a cashiers check?"
JacquesMacrame
$10,000... It seems they don't really want to catch this guy
ClownishAntics
If they stopped eating avocado toast they could offer a bigger reward

They write off more than that for an office team-building dinner.

Should start a gofundme to people who STFU about it. Probably make 10k easy.

NOAA offered $20,000 for information on the shooter of a sea lion.

So what percentage of his life insurance is it?
trinxter
I am pretty sure that is the maximum they can pay out for that procedure. Also only one officer can be assigned to the investigation (/s if only).
ShadeMeadowsArt
NO ONE TRY TO COLLECT THIS
TinyLiehon
Is that twice a week or every other week?
Vectron
Yes.
heyletsbefriends
is that twice a week or once every two weeks?

Never heard of anyone getting shot

$10,000 to find the killer? How about $20,000 to do another one.

I think even killers have a better moral compass than CEOs. Nobody ain’t gonna snitch on them.
TripleDane
Can we take the money and just say sorry the service is not covered by my watch service ?
Youhavinagiraffe
Is this post implying that the reward should be bigger because the victim was rich?
StrandedonEarth
No, it should be bigger if they actually want people to give useful information, instead of just applauding
Erumun
that it? guess he wasn't very liked.

A snitch would instantly become the most hated man in USA. More than Trump!

its not enough to even cover most medical bills.

It's less than my family's yearly UHC deducible.

I apologize for being ignorant on this… what is UHC?
taez555
The healthcare company that needs a new CEO.
adventureswithadhd
D’oh! I should have known that. Thanks!
justherefortheconfession
Just goes to show that not even their own CEO is important to the UHC Board or stockholders
psugab
It's crime stoppers offering it, not even the board

Media is claiming Brian Thompson was “assassinated”. What do we call the deaths of those who died from a denied health insurance claim?

Why. The. Fuck. Is ANYONE that works for insurance making 7 figures?
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Even CEOs of charities make that kind money.

As far as I'm concerned, NOBODY should be making 7 figures.

Most likely, just the rich guy.
However, it also depends on if the other people were actually caught.

My bet is, the rest actually pay a fair amount for the information.

Otherwise they have do like.... Solve crimes, and they're woefully unqualified for that without help from the general public

The crime stoppers award that helps lead to an arrest of ANY crime starts at $3500.

Maybe people will start phoning in false leads...

ANY crime? I need somebody to steal $100 off me and another to collect the reward, split it three ways, repeat

See the problem is if any of them rat you out for conspiracy to commit fraud then they get another 3.5k and you get Jack squat
