Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing.

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.

      I think they’d publicly wave around a vague concept hinting at the potential sum, then if the shooter was caught, they’d really come out and give a $1 reward to a whistleblower if only just to make a mockery of the concept.

        Sounds about right. The peasants do what the rich want because the rich think everyone should do what they say and the peasants think they will get rewarded. Neither is true.

        A $1 reward would just be the punchline.
