In this case, "Crime Pays Much Better" is a valid criticism, relative to the award. It really shouldn't be the case here. This is very much a "worst case scenario" for Sony if publicly released. The award amount IMHO is excessively paltry for the level of effort and the relative impact that this could have caused their business if not reported in an ethical way. An award amount this low, is as other points out and the poster, approaches levels of "deterrent to doing the right thing."
