Offering a bounty to locate a person of interest in a crime is not "vigilante justice." The police frequently employ the very same strategy.

Offering a bounty is not a call to attack or harass the person in question; if you want to make that claim, you need more evidence to substantiate it. Right now there's no evidence the CEO wanted anything more than to have this person identified.

"get out there and hunt him down" is literally vigilantism.
