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.
