so you got paid $5,000 ? How long since the first report did it take for that to reach your bank account?

The bug was reported on December 8th, 2015 and fixed on February 18th, 2016 which is an unusually long time for Facebook. The bounty reached my account during the middle of March, but Facebook has recently changed their bounty payment processor to Bugcrowd, and now they have weekly payments.

Weekly payments as opposed to a lump sum? Why? I can't imagine cashflow is an issue for them.

I suspect franjkovic means that there's a queue of lump sums to get deposited to their respective owners, and payments in that queue get processed once per week.

I took that as "they payout all bounties due weekly via an automated system instead of whenever accounting gets around to writing a check".

[nkozyra]

I took that to mean payments every week instead certain payout times.

Weekly, as opposed to Google's biannual system.
