He can shop his exploit on many of the "underground" security boards, however it's very unlikely he will get someone trying to send him stolen money. Your other option is real world criminals who have moved online like the alleged mob influences on computer security. I don't know personally if Russian/Italian/Israeli "mobsters" are online, but if the money is there, organized crime is slowly following.
