He did that after facebook security team rejected his request to report a bug

To be fair they rejected it because his "report" consisted of a link to a profile where he claimed to have exploited the bug, without any explanation of what he actually did. If he had at least given a rough indication of what the exploit was I am sure they would have reacted differently.

Your point being? He doesn't explain the exploit at all, he just gives them a link to some profile he claims to have exploited (which already violated their ToS).
