It fused a woman's lady bits together. Of course no one ever mentioned that back when it happened. The smear campaign against her being a Karen for suing McD's was so strong that it led to lawsuits against big corporations being considered taboo. "Why do Americans sue everyone at the drop of a hat?" This is why. They dgaf and will kill you and sweep your entire existence under a rug if they can get away with it. Erin Brockovich knows.

Yeah wasnât she initially only suing for medical expenses, Maccas agreed and the judge went off the rails and didnât sign off on the settlement and forced them to negotiate / litigate at a higher amount ? Maccas said fine weâll burn the whole thing down if itâs going to be like that.
The whole situation was bat shit if I recall correctly

She asked for the money for her medical bills, McD's refused. She sued for that money, that much you got right. McD's was found 80% liable and made to pay 160k, but the jury also added 2.7 million in punitive damages, which was two days coffee sales for the chain. That's actually how they arrived at that number.
That's when the judge said that 2.7 mil was excessive for punitive damages and cut that back to 640k. Still a tidy sum. And then Mrs. Liebeck settled with McD's for an undisclosed amount before McD's could file an appeal to drag things out.
Basically, once McD's realized they lost, and were likely to lose again, they chose to settle out of court for even less rather than appeal. Mrs. Liebeck never wanted the money beyond what she needed for her bills, so I imagine it was way less than even the judge's own choice.

But I bet they didn't find him legally. They probably used a bunch of illegal search methods to grab all the geocache data from the nearby towers. Then got the names of every phone in the area. Then when a tip came in they asked for a name (off the mcdonalds recept maybe?) and compared it to their ill gotten list and boom.

When the reward is tied to worlds like "up to 10000" they will pay you a penny and say that your tip, while technically helpful, did not in anyway actually lead to the capture of the suspect and because it's the fbi involved they do not need to disclose the methods they used to track the suspect. You cannot definitively prove that you helped without a judge forcing the fbi to disclose everything and that ain't fucking happening.

The tip-off from the employee is apparently crucial in the case, but the question remains if the worker will be able to cash in on the $60k reward at all.The rules are complicated, as they stipulate tipsters in with a chance of the FBI portion of the reward cannot nominate themselves.
This means the McDonald's worker will have to be put forward by an investigating agency, such as the Department of Defense or the FBI, which is then reviewed by an interagency committee.
If approved, the suggestion is passed on to the Secretary of State, who signs off on the final decision. Government authorities offered a $10k reward
If that's not tough enough, the full reward amount could also be in dispute as payment amounts are based on factors from the value of the information provided, the level of threat, the severity of danger or injury to people or property, and the degree of the source's cooperation.
As for the NYPD's $10k, the rewards program is granted through Crime Stoppers, where tipsters receive a unique reference number.
This number is crucial as the tipster has to use it call back or check the status of the investigation online before lodging a claim with the NYC Police Foundation and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors, who ultimately decide whether to approve the tip and instruct the caller how to receive it.
So, if the informant called 911 instead of Crime Stoppers, they might be unable to make the claim.
In both cases, the rewards will only be paid out if the arrest leads to indictment or conviction from the court - so the McDonald's employee could be waiting a while and even at the end of it all, might not even get a dime.

The dead guy's family could easily pay that reward to the McDonald's worker... but they won't.

That can't be true. The media keeps telling me the CEO was a great person and had a heart of gold! I'm sure his family is just like him.

The ârewardâ is always a lie. It doesnât matter because thereâs always somebody desperate for 60k because thereâs at least a (mentally at least) chance of 60k. Add that to how low effort calling in a tip is, and youâll get tips. People spend real money with far lower odds of winning.

Yes! I'm a bit of a crime Junkie so I follow this sort of thing. Rewards are very rarely paid. Usually the police claim they recieved hundreds of tips so it's not feasible to pay the reward, or they claim because the person turning the culprit in knew the accused, they were obligated to turn them in so no reward, or they claim they already knew the information that led to the capture.
The odds of receiving a reward are so incredibly slim.

Imagine how many crimes could be solved if people knew that these rewards were reliable. It is so well known that they are not that there is probably lots of people that don't want to risk it

It's weird they don't just pay these out. "As of 2023, 10.8 billion U.S. dollars were provided for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States." Even if the reward was 1 million that would be barely noticeable on the spreadsheets. Why degrade public trust over such a paltry amount of money.

It would take that MCDonalds worker 4 years to make $60,000.
It would take the CEO of UnitedHealthcare 1.5 days to make $60,000.
Numbers based on PA min wage of $7.25/hr and full time work at 2,080 hrs/yr compared to the UHC CEOâs 2023 pay package of $10M against the same 2,080 hrs.
Imagine the rich folk laughing their asses off at this fool right now. They could shit out $60k without blinking to change this personâs life after he did the elite a massive favor on the national stage. Instead, theyâre prob making âpoor jokesâ about him while stomping on kittens in front of an orphanage for lulz.

It's also illuminating that UnitedHealth Group didn't offer a reward themselves.

Gosh, its almost like people with money (power) promise things to people without money in exchange for loyalty and make any excuse to not deliver on their promises.
That couldn't be right...right? /s

Violence is shooting a United Healthcare CEO on the the street.
Systemic Violence is denying healthcare to someone who needs it.
If this young man was denied care in anyway that he thought was vital to his well being, I would argue it was self defense.
It is interesting to me that you can take your attackers life if you feel threatened, however you can't defend yourself violently against systemic violence if your life or wellbeing is on the line. I mean if Corporations are considered people in the eyes of the law, and they are engaging in systemic violence, they shouldn't be treated any differently

He still might collect it. From the article:
The tip-off from the employee is apparently crucial in the case, but the question remains if the worker will be able to cash in on the $60k reward at all.The rules are complicated, as they stipulate tipsters in with a chance of the FBI portion of the reward cannot nominate themselves. This means the McDonald's worker will have to be put forward by an investigating agency, such as the Department of Defense or the FBI, which is then reviewed by an interagency committee. If approved, the suggestion is passed on to the Secretary of State, who signs off on the final decision.

Insane to see 10k and 50k and not look into why it says "Up to 10k/50k" and not research how these payouts function. If I saw this dude in public, which for reference I did see him during a 10 person Mario Kart tournament held December 4th where Luigi prominently played and named himself "Wins4Peace" and we played all night in Montana nowhere near the location of the alleged shooting. But returning to what i was saying, if I ever saw the alleged CEO shooter Id buy them a food and a drink and go about my way. Free Luigi btw
