The Five Million Dollar Flight Instructor

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Minnesota flight instructor who notified his bosses
of student Zacarias Moussaoui's suspicious behavior received a $5 million
reward Thursday from the State Department, two government officials told
CNN."


The good guys won one. So, I wonder what kind airplanes he's going to buy.

Now its time for someone in the state department (or ICE or INS)
to be fined $5 million for not doing anything about it.

Did they withhold the $2.5m in taxes before they gave it to him or
expect him to pay estimateds on it?

I wondered that, too.

Who knows, maybe he'll buy the FBO and write it off as a business expense.
If it were me the first thing I'd do is buy one of those toy Cessnas out of
the Sporty's catalog and send it to Moussaoui with a note that says.
"Hijack this, jackass."

I'd be willing to bet the reward was tax free. Rewards under that
program (Rewards for Justice, authorized by 22 U.S.C. § 2708) can be
made in secret, with the required reporting to Congress classified. Hard
to see how that secrecy could be maintained if the money had to reported
on a tax return!

"When asked what he intended to do with the windfall, the flight instructor
replied; 'I guess I will keep flying and getting ratings until it's gone.'"

That shouldn't take very long.
