Seriously, this is not applicable here!
What he did is not ethical according to me. He did this for monetary gains plain and simple. If facebook decided to prosecute I do not hold that against them. More menacing ones are probably going to take his place and make it even more expensive for facebook.
He found a security breach great. He want's to disclose it to Facebook while at the same time receive monetary compensation why else would he negotiate with facebook and point out that he has yet to do something bad with the code such as release it in the wild and point out that he was successful previously with the same approach. Unless he informed Facebook even while the negotiation failed it was blackmail. Not very ethical...
