Got no doubts about what you stated (also a huge wtf to that basketball charity fuckup) but I'm still convinced the snitch will get her money just as Lugi will be convicted for terrorism, although the commenter above, in his epic joury-comment wrote that the double-conviction wasn't allowed under the state law. If it isn't FBI or the police who pays her then it will be the some other CEOs. Maybe on a charity event.

No one cares whether the snitch will get their money. All eyes will be on the court case. And she it comes to money, everything will be done to deny a payout. It's how big corps and the government work. Whenever there's a desk approving a payout, there will be a desk above it questioning it and putting it on hold, finding ways to drown it in paperwork. Spending money means someone will be held responsible for losing funds, which means someone will have a bad rep concerning their career so no one wants to work towards a payout. Capitalism thrives around reducing spendings and increasing profits. That's a major flaw of capitalism. Investing in the future, the general public or the greater good are not part of the equation.
