    both the arrest and conviction of the suspect

    Makes perfect sense, but that’s just a matter of time.

    might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.

    OK, so maybe they won’t be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he’s convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they’re getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.

      The tip didn’t contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words “both” and “and” rather than “consequent” are explicit.

      The rat won’t be paid.
