Cyber-arms dealer offers $1m for zero-day Tor hacks

Tor, Tails and the like are open source projects, they don’t have the funds to offer a bounty like this.

Now what would be really interesting, if Tor would introduce a exploit on purpose, make it really short lived or only functional in specific testing situations. Create a hacker alias, claim the bounty and close the exploit. Suddenly this cash strapped, practically volunteer run organization, has a major cash injection, received from the same unethical people that are looking to screw them over.
