#2 I doubt any of these rewards ever get paid out. I think the guy who gave up pablo escobar is still waiting on his. |

#1 A reward, huh? Not likely we got that intel strictly through technical means. Even if there were a tracker on or near his person, somebody had to put it there. So somebody deserves the reward. He'd be smart not to claim it, since State would no doubt publicize his name, address, and those of his relations out to in-laws'in-laws. Sort of like a terp trying to get out of shitholistan as promised and finding his case on the local version of Sixty Minutes while State is shredding his green card app. |
