absolutely. if it's a grave exploit, just tell the community about it. I'm sure you get at least $4k out.

I guess the hacker was only able to get like $10k out, which is absolutely not worth it in terms of risk

      Sometimes the reason is not money but just intention to destroy a system they don't like. Some men just want to see the world burn...
