Oh come on lets be real here. If you had a no strings attached other than being shunned by the community you would do it too. It really just takes a little bit of an evil soul.
Most people have morals or at the very least enough of a heart to give the person who deserves it SOME of the 200k you stole from them.

A bit of shame and hatred to an online persona is more than worth $200k (at least to most) let's be real

Up to 200k, does not mean 200k. That's only the potential amount she could have received.

Most people have morals in this kind of situation. You wouldn't steal 200k from someone in person....
Except they didn't? That's the whole crux of it. They didn't. They stole code (presumably?) from someone that they have never likely met IRL. You only need the slight bit of skeeviness to need to commit to such a deed.

lmfao this drama is hilarious. 200K is so worth stealing code m8.

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND

hello?!?! WHO WOULD NOT DO THAT LMFAO!!!
I hope you joking, would you like to someone take all your money?? Super dick move I hope the person that found the bug gets the deserved money, and for Kate she should be ashamed and burn in hell.

Yeah it all depends on the actual amount. Even then, even a few thousand dollars is still worth it, potentially.

Egotistically yes having your online persona destroyed for that amount would be worth it, but I highly doubt she got 200k. The T210 is mostly used in older hardware, and is not cripplingly dangerous enough for a 200k payout IMO.

I would however assume a amount between 50k-100k.

Anyways, it's all speculation until we know more.

It could even be like someone said "there's a vulnerabilty in byte X of function Y in the bootrom" and Kate looked there and found it and reported it to Nintendo. That's what my Youtube bug was like. They didn't even post code.

Would you care what situation or what reasoning someone had if they stole 200k from you for something you discovered? Just because they didn't steal it directly doesn't make it any less bad or any more legal.

I'm not saying it wasn't a bad thing, but the morals aren't quite the same as punching a bank teller and running with $200k as it is sneaking a bit of code and submitting it on the down low. Theft is theft, but it's far more easier to do and has less consequence when you're just a face online.
