Well you sound like a damn clown if you think you’re a researcher. Wonder what degree you have.
I’m a software engineer not a researcher. Furthermore it was a quick and easy way to get an idea where to start. Don’t bring your biases about LLMs to me cause i couldn’t give a fuck what you think pal. Frankly you’re all boring going on about LLM bad, Linux great ad nauseam.
Go the fuck outside and touch some grass. It ain’t that deep you bloody melon. Sick of y’all’s judgemental asses. If you don’t like a topic or thing just move along. Christ on a bike nobody cares what you don’t like pal.

Yup. We are the left wing The Donald. They hate everything. And talk about the same shit incessantly without actually making any change cause they won’t engage with anyone else with a different opinion.

Where can I find data on reward money offered vs paid in the USA over the last 20 years
Reply Short answer — there’s no single complete national dataset.
Reward programmes are fragmented across federal agencies, state/local Crime Stoppers chapters, private bail/bounty firms, and corporate/financial whistleblower schemes. To build a 20-year “offered vs paid” series you’ll need to pull from several sources and (optionally) stitch them together.
Below are the best places to look (with examples and why they matter): 1. Federal whistleblower & reward programs (high-quality, machine-readable annual reports) • SEC — Office of the Whistleblower: publishes annual reports with amounts awarded each fiscal year (detailed PDFs). Great for securities whistleblower payments (large, consistent dataset since 2011).  • DOJ / Department of Justice press releases and program pages — DOJ has various reward/whistleblower programs (and a recent pilot program). Useful for criminal/corporate enforcement reward totals where reported.  • U.S. Department of State — Rewards for Justice (RFJ): posts individual reward offers and announcements (large, occasional awards). Good for transnational/terrorism-related reward offers.  2. Federal law enforcement (FBI, DEA, etc.) — press releases and “rewards” pages • The FBI and some other agencies publish individual reward offers (Ten Most Wanted, fugitive rewards) and occasional summaries. These are event-level (not neat annual totals), so you’d scrape press releases or file FOIA requests for bulk data.  3. Crime Stoppers (national + local chapters) — aggregated rewards paid • Crime Stoppers USA and many local chapters publish aggregate “Rewards Paid” and “Property Recovered” statistics (useful for local/community reward payouts). There are many chapter reports you can scrape/collect.  4. Private-sector and industry sources (bounty/bail industry, private reward platforms) • Bounty hunters / bail bond industry earnings and private reward platforms are private and fragmented — statistics exist in trade pieces, law reviews, and industry blogs but no central public dataset. See law reviews and industry reports for estimates.  5. News archives & academic evaluations • For historical context and one-off large reward offers (and sometimes totals), use major news archives, NCJRS/NIJ and academic reports (e.g., evaluations of Crime Stoppers). 
Practical approach to build the 20-year series
If your goal is an actual dataset (offered vs paid per year), I recommend this pipeline: 1. Decide scope — which kinds of rewards? (e.g., federal law-enforcement offers, whistleblower awards, Crime Stoppers/local rewards, private bounty/bail payments). 2. Pull high-quality federal reports first — SEC whistleblower annual reports, DOJ/State press release archives, FBI press releases. (These are the easiest to quantify.)  3. Scrape Crime Stoppers chapters — collect annual “rewards paid” numbers from national and major local chapters (they often publish totals).  4. Supplement with FOIA or API calls — for FBI/DOJ bulk records or if you need all reward offers (not just press releases). 5. Handle private/industry data as estimates — compile from industry reports, law journals, and news; treat these as less reliable.  6. Normalize & document assumptions — e.g., currency (nominal vs inflation-adjusted), whether “offered” is the maximum stated offer or the amount actually committed, and whether “paid” includes partial payments.
Useful starting links (to grab data now) • SEC Whistleblower Annual Report (FY2024 example).  • SEC newsroom (whistleblower award press releases).  • State Dept — Rewards for Justice program pages.  • FBI reward announcements / press releases.  • Crime Stoppers USA / sample local chapter stats pages. 
⸻
If you want, I can start pulling and assembling a first-pass dataset for you right now (for example: SEC whistleblower totals per year + Crime Stoppers national totals + notable federal reward offers per year) and deliver a CSV with year, source, offered (if available) and paid. Tell me whether to include or exclude (a) private bail/bounty payments, and (b) whether to inflation-adjust amounts — I’ll assume nominal USD if you don’t specify.

I asked an LLM although many here hate that.
It basically said it’s very fragmented but many departments / organisations do publish their rewards information.
SEC, DOJ, Dept of state RFJ, FBI, DEA, Crime stoppers, and more.
You have to go and look at each one and consume that data ideally programmatically. The LLM has links you can try but I won’t post the output without consent.

It seems like you might not understand how pieces of shit can be made and also how they can change.
I wholly believe that it’s better in the long run to understand these people as surely we would want a world that doesn’t foster these people.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
Perhaps I should have highlighted that it’s not a viable option for everybody.
I would say that your solution is also pretty shitty. As bad as bullies are many of them are doing because either they’re getting bullied / hit at home and so they act out in this way or have other issues.
I don’t think sticking them all together is the solution, we should be trying to understand why someone is doing that and see if we can make positive changes. When I say we I mean the education system.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
It’s sad that the school did that and sided with the bully, but at least you stood your ground.
It’s shocking that teachers over there seem so quick to call the cops which is sure to escalate any situation. We had fights in school in the UK and never had cops called. Maybe that’s changed now with knives and stuff, but 🤷♂️
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
I’m sorry you have to go through that bro.
What I learnt about bullies is once you smack them in the face most of them will think twice before bullying you again.

Also crazy as they don’t really have that much freedom. They’re slaves to capitalism.

If people need to go on forums for help then it ain’t easier than Windows. You’re just swapping one inconvenience for another.
I’m a software engineer and I listened to you lot and removed windows and tried Linux again a few months ago.
Absolute shit show getting my Nvidia 4060TI to work. WiFi also had issues and would just randomly stop working.
Went back to windows for the 2 games I play.

Censorship is a stretch pal.
Yea, I can’t really explain it but I saw a post the other day here somewhere and basically I agreed. They were saying that curse words have become so prevalent that they’ve lost some of the power, if every other word is fuck then it loses it potency, writing f*ck kind of adds that emphasis.
Honestly though I’m just sick of all these people on here complaining about it to be honest, it’s the most minute of issue that they latch on too. Free expression means I can write what I want and if some people don’t like that that’s their problem.
I guess also I’m just in a better place in my life and the constant negativity on here is just not something I’m prepared to keep consuming.
Curse word this, Linux that, rah rah rah.
This place has literally become the Donald for us on the left and it’s a massive circlejerk of all us fellating each other for being so moral when in reality we ain’t changing shit and we have made our own little echo chamber.
I’ve gone from 4 hours a day on here to less than 5 mins on average and I’m happier for it.

Stop telling people how to write if I want to add an * to a word I fucking will do. Sometimes I find it adds something to the word like highlights this is a strong word. Y’all are some basic b*tches complaining about dumb stuff all the fucking time.

To be honest I air on the side of literal too, it’s just in this instance I’ve been in many cubicles that just had broken locks so I figured this might be what they mean.
- Comment on We've all been there 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I think it would be clearer if said “door with no functioning lock”.
As I could be wrong and they literally mean doors with no locks but I’ve never seen such as toilet door.
- Comment on We've all been there 2 weeks ago:
I have not seen them with no lock, but I have seen many with broken locking mechanisms.
I feel this is the intent of this post.
