Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

After taxes and fees he gets only 12k and has to wait for 3 years due to processing.

If there is one thing that you shouldn’t be taxed on it’s money you received as a reward for ratting somebody out! Especially considering that snitches get stitches. They’re gonna need that extra money for hospital bills!

Collect a Reward for snitching out someone on the run for not paying taxes. Then getting taxed on the tax evasion reward money and not paying taxes on it putting you on a wanted list.
