LE / FBI Reward $$$.
the same is true with plenty of witnesses in plenty but they still get named
and they still get the reward money thats owed to them
he may not get the reward im not sure why
Here's why the McDonald's employee who reported Luigi Mangione might not get $60K reward
funny this McDonald's employee doesn't seem to have been named

@girlhasnoname responded, but I'll throw in more (tedious?) detail. < Editted to clarify sentence.
Dec. 7, "The FBI announced Friday night it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction."*
^ That relates to
when this reward payment may be made.
After conviction, not just arrest, not just capture.
Who, if anyone, may / will receive (some or all) the reward $ ?
The McD employee? IDK.
Seems likely FBI & other LE agencies received hundreds or thousands of tips, and we don't know who gave other info which may also have led to arrest (and no conviction yet).
A FBI "Policy Directive" ** covers offering & approving monetary rewards to members of the public for advertised solicitations for info leading to arrests & convictions, etc.
It boils down to FBI deciding on a case-by-case basis who to reward under the facts & specific circumstances.
Per FBI's gen. policy directive & per terms of the announced reward in this case, iiuc, no reward payment will be made before trial & conviction.
Why has LE not named the McD employee name?
And as
@girlhasnoname explained (TYVM) :
"Probably for personal safety reasons, one of LM's fan boys/girls might be tempted to harass them in some way."
Hope this helps,
@mrC.
