IANAL but this seems far from a slam dunk to successfully prosecute. The charge is that he tried to cover up something that they aren't charging as a crime while they were investigating an unrelated thing they also aren't charging as a crime. And the legal department recommended and approved the bug bounty and the CEO was fully informed.
