    They’d have better chances if they offered the former CEO’s one month’s pay.

        I think they’d publicly wave around a vague concept hinting at the potential sum, then if the shooter was caught, they’d really come out and give a $1 reward to a whistleblower if only just to make a mockery of the concept.

          Sounds about right. The peasants do what the rich want because the rich think everyone should do what they say and the peasants think they will get rewarded. Neither is true.

          A $1 reward would just be the punchline.
