If that was their plan, they screwed it up like the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. They did not have to rent the room at the Howard Johnson Inn. They already laundered a big share of the money. If they wanted to turn him in for the reward they should have just called the DCMPD tip line and said "he just called me from the Uber cab and he's on his way here." They could keep the stolen money and get the 100 grand reward to boot.
Raises good point about who had the $$$ and when.
Did DDW provide $ and instructions to convert to money orders, etc,
before he left DC for NY?
Would hetrust his chum for an indeterminate time - perhaps a few days - w that amt?
Would he
trust all of them for that time?
If ^ was chronology, then yes, conceivably they could have ended up w stolen $ and reward.
Or after securing $, did DDW head w $ to NY,
return to DC by Uber, look up his chums, then
provide $ & instructions, w agreement to meet up in X hours or a day? This would require DDW's trust in his chums for shorter time.
^ is what I thought I had read (or may have azz-umed, sorry if I messed up timeline).
If ^ was chronology and if chums told LE he was on the way back to DC, then they would not yet have had stolen $ in hand , so no chance to keep stolen $ and get reward.
Maybe there is another chronology that could also result in chums getting both stolen $ and reward $. IDK.
JM2cts, could be all wrong.
I wish I cd/find M
SM re reward. Was it for info leading to
arrest or
arrest and conviction?
