i mean, didn't the social mass murderer cash out like 100-150 million dollars worth of options as a little treat for himself in the week before he died in a folk hero involved shooting? i know lowballing the proletarians is sort of The Move™ for class traitors to find each other, but lmao.

It's not just about lowballing the proletariat, offering a million dollar reward is reserved for people the FBI wants to be seen as a threat to national security. They can't give him the same supervillain notoriety as some Middle Eastern guy whose hideout is about to be on the receiving end of a trillion $ worth of Raytheon products. It would cement his folk hero status and they know that. They're lowballing bc the ghouls are scared of where this is going.

If they raise the reward they also invite someone else to say, "listen, son, they've given me six months to live unless I get this medication and the insurance company denied the claim; I'll be popping out for a bit and when I get home you can call the FBI for what I suspect will be quite the prize."
