Bizarre reason why McDonald's worker might not receive $60,000 reward
for identifying Luigi Mangione

Interestingly, this article hit the front pages the first day, and was
immediately - I mean immediately - replicated over every possible forum.
Why, and by whom? 
 
It's such a strange article, has basically no facts. Just throws doubt
on the payment.  Immediate, global saturation.  Who wanted this message
spread?

I believe it is a stock story that just gets updated for each new high
profile "award for information given" case. I've seen several of these
over the years.

Why did this one get a lot of coverage? Maybe people at news orgs
(reading news) with sympathy for the shooter and ticked off about
someone helping the police with this case.
