AlgoGard not paying out a bug bounty after exploit was reported and aren't openly acknowledging who pointed it out

I can see that to a degree. I didn’t even look for a bug bounty because Rylie from Algogard just said:

“This is incredibly risky behavior and precludes any type of bug bounty.”

So it seems to be only about the way it was handled and at the very least I would expect Algogard to publicly acknowledge it tho.
