The McDonald’s worker who helped catch United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder suspect, Luigi Mangione, may not get the $50K reward due to the way he turned the suspected killer in.
The 26-year-old was arrested at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania on Monday as he was spotted eating breakfast.
Ahead of his arrest, the New York Police Department initially offered $10K for any information. Once the FBI got involved, they offered additional money to raise the offer to $50,000.
Whatever the reason the McDonald’s worker called to catch Luigi Mangione, it won’t matter when it comes to the reward money because he did not report it correctly.
The rewards program is executed through Crime Stoppers, so tipsters must call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) to provide information in order to receive cash.
After providing their information, tipsters receive a unique reference ID, and any reward given to them must be approved by a Board of Directors.
Basically, the unknown worker has put his life in jeopardy to help police catch Luigi Mangione, and he might not be rewarded at all for his efforts.
McDonald’s worker might NOT get the $50,000 reward because he called 911 & not the TIP number…. Also the money has to be approved by the Secretary of State pic.twitter.com/Xt4z7pnJjH

This is a good way to ensure that the public never wants to help the police again.
McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania Flooded With Negative Reviews After Arrest of Luigi Mangione
Since the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, social media has lit up with calls for him to be freed.
Mangione was taken into custody at McDonald’s on Monday morning after a customer noticed a man wearing a mask in the back of the store. That customer then went to an employee, who in turn called 911.
That has led people to leave bad reviews for the fast-food restaurant, even if they’ve likely never been there.
A recurring theme for the reviews is “rats,” which likely refers to the employee snitching or ratting out Mangione.
