The Golden Arches and their snitches deserve the single finger salute. On the other hand, what would you do if you were making minimum wage with pathetic benefits? $50k would be helpful, unless the clown buys a Dodge Charger.

Well, you would have to quit your job and go into hiding because the whole country wants to dox you and that 50k (maximum) would only get you so far

Is it 50k tax free? Lol or is is taxed as a bonus?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

After a quick Google search it seems that it would be taxed as income.

I've always wondered why they don't just account for tax and just give them enough that after taxes is the amount stated but then ol uncle Sam can't get his fingers wet by shoving them up your ass.

Oh you bet whoever did it will spend either on something frivolous or to pay for necessary medical treatment not covered by insurance due to some bullshit reason

I wouldn't count on that reward money.

Insurance companies aren't exactly famous for paying what they owe.

It's worth noting that we don't know exactly why they called the cops. It appears the cops didn't know who he was until they had him pull down his mask. I'm guessing he was quite the sight after several days on the run, and probably several nights without much sleep. Some reporting also stated that they called the police on behest of an alarmed customer.
