Ridiculous. This is why many security professionals become disillusioned with bounty programs. This story is not uncommon at all. Bounty programs, while presenting a tempting incentive to practice one's skills are a very poor income strategy. You are essentially working, unpaid, for organizations who are just as likely to ignore you (or report you to law enforcement) as they are to pay you for your findings. No wonder so many young talented security pros are easily tempted to trade their findings for the safety of a crypto transaction with an anonymous buyer than they are to submit them through official channels.
