Where's the beef for fingertip tipster?

When Anna Ayala claimed to find a finger in her Wendy's chili in March, Wendy's damage control team offered a $100,000 reward for information about the fraud. Now, Mike Casey, the man who claims he blew the case wide open for Wendy's (he employed the man who lost the finger and Ayala's husband) says he hasn't seen a dime of the reward.

Casey says, "I did what they wanted and they offered it, so I think I have it coming." And Wendy's says they're still trying to determine whether or not Casey is the tipster.

Ayala faces up to nearly 10 years in state prison when sentenced Nov. 2. Her husband faces up to 13 years behind bars. [AP]

UPDATE 9/28: Mike Casey will split the reward with an anonymous tipster. [CNN]
