      i feel like it’s past the point where the amount is a deciding factor for someone working class. i think if someone was willing to sell him out, they would have wanted to do it before someone else did. and i think anyone who this guy trusted enough to have enough info would have considered it a heroic act.

          i just can’t think of a situation where i would be okay ruining it all for a life-changing amount of money but not a year-changing amount of money. if i care enough to not do it for $10k, i care enough to not do it for $1m. maybe i’m wrong, it’s pretty subjective. but i just can’t imagine that someone would decide to rat if they raise it.

      I don’t think its about the money nearly so much as it is about too many potential suspects and tons of dip shit sleuths on Twitter blowing up the NYPD with bad tips.

      Even if someone did know something, they’re competing with a tidal wave of Rileys who think they’ve Sherlock Holmes the perpetrator already.
