    Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

      The article definitely could have been clearer, and the title is also clickbait. But what would be a better title? I tried drafting like 6 different ones and none were better.

        I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”

        Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.
