He only got $2500 because the bug had already been reported by others. Most programs pay nothing in that case.

Then the first one to report it should have been paid a lot more than the $2500. The fact is that FB didn't understand the impact of the bug, and it needed Wes to show them how severe the bug was.

And once they knew how severe it was, they ought to have acknowledged the severity and paid him a lot more.
