Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after a McDonald’s employee spotted him eating at the fast food restaurant and called 911.

According to FBI rules, a tipster can’t nominate themselves to collect the reward — meaning the employee would have to be put forward by an investigating agency.

They would then have to cut through a bunch of red tape in order to make a claim.

The rewards, too, are often only paid out if the arrest leads to a conviction.
