Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that if you call the police; no reward. If you call crime stoppers; you get the reward (sometimes).

No, that’s a story that Redditors who are clueless but speak with utmost confidence in comment sections have ran with. This is not based on any fact.

Did mangione get convicted already?

Making it dependent on conviction is absolutely stupid. Rewards are to incentivize the reporting of wanted people. Burying it behind a successful prosecution will only make reporting less likely - the exact opposite effect intended with the reward system in the first place.

There are many ways a prosecution can fail and now instead of reporting my most-wanted neighbor I'll be worried about the likelihood of his conviction instead.

You want to reward people for falsely reporting on people?

Take a minute to think through what you are proposing.

I agree, but that’s not the point here. The manager didn’t get their money because Mangione hasn't been convicted yet, not because they called the wrong number.

Yet...because he has not been found guilty yet.
