They don't want to set a precedent of people blackmailing with a bug like rumours say he tried. The bounty program sets a price an avoid exploitation on both sides. Respecting that was more important. Paying a scholarship allows Apple to send a valuable transfer but no cash, rewarding the discovery without setting a precedent.

> They don't want to set a precedent of people blackmailing with a bug like rumours say he tried. You're creating rumors, not reporting them. You can read the letter they sent to Apple. That wasn't even the first attempt at contact and all they asked about is if there were any bug bounties available. Nobody tried to blackmail anyone by simply asking if the bug may be eligible for a bounty.
