How did he hold it hostage? He disclosed the vulnerabilities to them privately before doing anything else. This wasn't a case of "shame them now, hope for a payout later". It was a case of "responsible disclose it privately, then do a stupid thing by disclosing it publicly before they've had a chance to pay you".
