Aylee -> Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 12:23:57 AM)
There was a 25 million dollar bounty on bin Laden's head. The SEAL that shot him is not eligible. The courier that gave the info did not do so willingly. So, WHO gets that 25 million? I fear that the answer is no-one. [>:]

Why do you fear it, if no one deserves it?

I mean that I think that with the fact that the SEALS cannot receive the bounty, no others in the chain that lead to this are eligible either. Which makes me wonder if ANY of the bounties offered are worth the paper they are printed on. After all, what is the harm in putting a huge bounty out there if it will never be collected?

Your needless expanation of "fear" aside, you are missing the point. The bounty could have been collected if anyone eligible had turned him in. No one did, so no one gets it. What if his kidneys failed before someone was eligible for the bounty? Does that mean it should never have been posted?

We're just going to throw it into the pot for the care and feeding of three wars ... ... Ok, it's been spent

"So, WHO gets that 25 million?" They can make trillions disappear, this will be no problem at all. T^T

Louve00 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 3:40:37 AM)
Just guessing here, but I believe that bounty was put out for a citizen or un-military group who pointed him out. That's usually who reward money is set up for. For people willing to help the agency or main source accomplish their goals. Kinda like when cops put a bounty on someone's head, they don't give the bounty to themselves if they find the perpetrator, before someone turned him in.

Even though the SEALS are not eligible, I think they deserve a nice bonus for a job well done. If they don't want to do that, there are plenty of government programs, like Social Security, that could certainly use a little help. Of course that isn't going to happen and really, with the deficit being what it is, the government really doesn't have twenty-five million to give to anyone. Knowing our government, they will probably give that money to some country we are blowing up so they can re-build.

Hillwilliam -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 7:22:43 AM)
If they can't find anyone to take that money off their hands, I'm willing to make the sacrifice. I'm patriotic that way.

Owner59 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 7:59:29 AM)
Probably no one.LEO`s don`t get posted rewards.Prolly goes for the SEALS too. Can you image tho,what the helicopter ride was like on the way back?!!! No one was hurt and w/ bin-laden, shot in the head and in tow (like a trophy over the hood of the p/u truck) and everybody made it out,all fucking stoked as shit and happy as hell!!That must have been the most exciting thing in the fucking world! HOLY FUCK`N SHIT !!! Now that, must have been something no amount of money could buy. Someday,I hope we`ll meet some of them in interviews.

Louve00 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 9:40:55 AM)
I doubt we'll ever meet them in an interview. I hear they work in secrecy. But, here is a link that talks about the Seals and what they're all about. [:)] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/42875603#42875603

Owner59 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 9:44:39 AM)
I`m think`n down the road.Maybe a book in ten years or sump`m.

flcouple2009 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 10:00:25 AM)
Had the courier called up and tipped everyone off that Osama was in the compound he would get the 25 million. Since no one ever came forward and the US did it all on their lonesome nobody gets it.

Louve00 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 10:01:19 AM)
Ahhhh, yea that would be cool to hear about the story blow by blow. In the video I posted, it was said the 6 on the mission cheered with happiness that their mission was to get OBL. I'd definitely buy a book, if they put one out on down the line!

Owner59 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 10:07:20 AM)
Oh,so they didn`t know what the target was before hand?!! Holy shit! The secrecy and no-leak quality of this whole thing is impressive.I heard that if the Pakistanis were notified that obl would have missed his late night visitors. Those are six of the most stoked dudes on the planet right now.[:D]

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/05/03/135929518/who-gets-the-27-million-reward-offered-for-bin-ladens-capture Here we go. Makes sense to me. Publishing the name would be a huge mistake.

LoneWolf13 -> RE: Osama is dead, who gets the money? (5/3/2011 10:39:09 AM)
Why not add this money to the bounty on the head of his number 2 (whatever his name is) and his number 3 and so on...

I am not a day trader. Silver has dropped. But not really a fat finger - because the stack remains. Yay. China is going to buy a trillion $ worth of gold... so the bull run will continue.
