If Dwolla, Skrill or another PayPal competitor is paying attention they might be wise to pay the kid a bounty in the interest of "improving the integrity of transactions on the web" even if it improved the security of their main competitor.

+1 to that. Dwolla should hire him for a brief spell and pay the bounty PayPal denied.
