The point being that the IT guy made sure this guy will never try to report on anything again. As they will ".. would be watching .. at our IP address .. while the issue was being fixed."

Instead of a normal company having a bug bounty and sometimes even with cash prizes.

Do you think google "will watch your IP" after you reported a bug? or will they give yo money?

What helps in the short run? and what helps in the long run?

I honestly think they'll do both - but they won't tell you they're watching your IP because it's needlessly antagonistic.
