[quote=Business Insider]Sanmay Ved thought his real reward was just being the guy who bought Google.com for a minute. When Google first told him he wouldn't get any money as a result of the accidental transaction, he said it was fine — he'd rather it be donated to charity anyway.

"I don't care about the money, " Ved told Business Insider. "It was never about the money. I also want to set an example that it's people who want to find bugs that it's not always about the money."

...

Ved chose to donate his reward to an Indian foundation that focuses on bringing education to the slums. He won't disclose the amount Google awarded him, only hinting that it was at least "more than 10,000."[/quote]

can't the dude just receive the bounty and then give to to charity himself?

Why complicate the process more than it needs to be? Seems like an odd thing to complain about.

This is news I can get behind.

He'd have to pay tax on it if he did it that way.

Did Google become a bad company while I wasn't looking? What "shitty actions" do they do all the time?

I'm pretty sure donations are a tax write-off.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure he'd still have to pay some kind of income tax for receiving the money.

From what I've seen, Google is like 85% not evil. I mean, it's a big fucking company, there's going to be good and bad people in high-ranking positions.
