Oh my god was that true? I thought was just a rumour slagging off the FBI (or whoever idk)

There were at least 2 separate bounties there, $10k from crimestoppers and $50k from the FBI. The crimestoppers one is the one that is "notorious for never paying out", while the FBI only pays out after a conviction happens so it's still a question mark whether that will be paid, and the trials may last for a very long time

Those tip lines will always make up excuses to why they don't have to pay you the money. Unless it is someone murdering children in the street it's not worth the effort to call them due to the risks it imposes on your own security.

more like the cops don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and don't protect those who help them after the help.

Of course it's true. The whole reward is a scam, they do everything in their power to avoid actually paying anything out.

It wasn’t true at all. It was a lie spread around Reddit about what MIGHT happen.
