    How do we know they didn’t get the reward for the tip on Luigi?

    I genuinly don’t know, it doesn’t look to be a source here.

    edit: Rewards are awarded after a conviction

    Since most rewards require a conviction, Larry might have to wait until a trial completes, which could take a year or more, the Associated Press reported.

      The joke is that OP is trying to discourage other people from reporting the shooter by implying that any promised financial reward is simply a ruse.

      … Honestly it’s a noble enough goal, I don’t see much need to debunk it.

        So baseless thought. It would be interesting to consider the moral implications of taking money to uphold the law as it is.

        I seriously doubt OP had a joke in mind, i think they didn’t check if anyone actually got a reward and really thought no one did.
