A lazy engineer doesn't automatically result in a warrant for exploiting the bug on the CEO's (or anyone's) profile.

No corporation will come forward and say "thank you for exploiting two of our users including our CEO and generating lots of negative PR for us. Here have this money for being a good boy and not selling the bug in the black market".

That's not how whitehat works.

You talk as if raising awareness of the issue directly to the CEO of the company because his employee was incompetent at handling the issue in the first place is a bad thing.
