The timing is probably just coincidence. He probably submitted a bug bounty weeks or months earlier and it just now got included in release notes. 
hush! we can’t our salacious headlines ruined with pesky details and nuance!

The fraudulent orders happened a few years ago, which was alleged recently
The indictment states that the pair attempted to fraudulently obtain over $3 million from Apple through more than two dozen fraudulent orders. For orders that did complete, they obtained around $2.5 million in electronic gift cards and more than $100,000 in “products and services.” The scheme started in December 2018 and continued until at least March 2019.
Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.
The article definitely could have been clearer, and the title is also clickbait. But what would be a better title? I tried drafting like 6 different ones and none were better.
I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”
Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.
I guess the title as is could make sense if fraud was part of stress testing
What the fuck is that keyboard. Look, corporate news, if you want to try and be taken seriously you can’t use AI art. Point blank. Hear me now and believe me later.
What’s wrong with it? Just a normal, albeit kinda flat, keyboard.
That’s a normal keyboard, it’s just the hands aren’t placed where they normally are. I doubt it’s AI art.
What the- ?? Do you see the ALT key in the middle of the picture? If that’s because the hands are wildly off center (which - wtf) then okay but that STILL doesn’t account for the “D” in the middle left being that far off. What’s that far off in the other direction, if this is supposed to be the center of the keyboard? Number keys? No. And that screen would have to be 22” long and 10” high if that was the case.
These are clearly AI imaging artifacts.
It’s the right alt button. The one next to the space.
Ohhhhh okay. I didn’t know why people were upset about calling it AI art. AI people big mad. Sowwy AI peopow!! Go Go Magic Sexwar Robot!
