I don't have a citation. But I do believe that you'd normally have to wait for a conviction before getting the reward. Otherwise it could be the wrong guy.

I was thinking the same thing. So why is everyone on Lemmy saying "The snitch didn't even get the money, so they did it for nothing!"

Because they didn't read any of the sources and just heard about the NYPD requirement that they call the tip line, which they didn't do, so unless there's some major backlash, they definitely won't be getting $10,000 of the reward.

The other $50,000 from the FBI we're all kinda assuming will have some other reason to not be paid out, but if we're being honest, if the 1% want us to continue turning on each other in the future, they're gonna have to let these high profile snitching cases go through.
