Let's look at a similar but slightly different scenario - If there was an issue with your contract and the company realized they didn't have to pay you...you can guess what decision they're probably making.
Sure, while this might not be illegal (and you wouldn't be at any fault either way), I definitely wouldn't want to work at a company that operates this way.
Also, not to mention - the recruiter will probably find out you got the job, when you update your LinkedIn, you post something online, etc...
You only need to update your trust store in a very narrow set of cases. All of the below need to be true AND you need to be running a system that doesn't already trust the AWS root CA - most systems already do. If the AWS website doesn't show an SSL error, you already trust the certs.
1) If you're actually forcing SSL verification in your client
2) If you're not using the GovCloud or China regions
3) You are using Redshift drivers prior to ODBC version 1.3.7.1000 or JDBC version 1.2.8.1005, or not using the Redshift drivers.

$185,000 application fee (+50k if a technical review is required)
$6,250 fee per quarter
$0.25 per transaction (registration, renewal, or transfer)
More fees I'm forgetting
You also must run/maintain a bunch of other programs/services like: (this is the bulk of the cost of running a registry) shared registration system (SRS) that implements EPP (used by registrars to register/update domains), whois service, abuse prevention/mitigation, rights protection, dns services, zone file distribution, data escrow, DNSSEC, etc...
