If you're working on Facebook security, is that a bet you're willing to take?

People might mostly take what they're offered, have it amount to a decent enough hourly rate but there will be that one in ten or one in a hundred unhindered by moral and/or legal considerations.

At that point, it turns into a cost calculation - perhaps it would indeed be cheaper to pay tenfold or more to a hundred people than have just one sell their bug/exploit/whatever to another, more interested buyer?

Apparently so. That's what they're offering and paying. The entity that most benefits from FB security is FB, and they seem to be OK doing this.
