I mean it makes sense. If he can get account access or remote execution, that's a lot of money. Unless the hacker is already pretty well off and doesn't need it, it's probably not worth the publicity stunt.

Sounds like he's getting the best of both worlds by promoting and cancelling: the publicity and the bounty.

Why take the money when you can televise your crimes? Not as if you can go to jail for that for many years.
