I'm not sure why the negative reaction to this post. I found it completely plausible and have no reason to doubt the author. It sucks that there are crappy people like this but unfortunately that's the real world. People will exploit you if you allow them to.
That said, threatening to sell exploits on the black market is a terrible way to fight back. Everything up to that point suggested the author had a case he could argue in court. If he does indeed proceed down that path he would likely find himself on the wrong side of the law.
- stickfigure 9y agothreatening to sell exploits on the black market is a terrible way to fight back My guess is that this is a clever way of destroying confidence in the coin and subverting the organization. He need not exploit the vulnerabilities; hell, they need not even exist. If he was really going to sell 0-days, it's not in his interest to announce it. As someone who once had the experience of being forced out of an organization by someone who thought software teams could be swapped out like the janitorial staff, I love this. It won't make you rich, but sometimes it's nice to just watch something burn.
