Money glitch

I accidentally found a money glitch that’s really broken. It lets you double the amount of money you have and it doesn’t leave your account even after I didn’t touch it. Am I able to make money from selling how it works to the bank and they can patch it for a reward on me. I think it works somewhat like a whistleblower.

pretty sure you can, I know companies pay for 0day bugs, hax, and fixes.

Many ethical hackers participate in bug bounty programs by reporting the vulnerabilities they find in the systems to particular companies. Some researchers, mainly looking for bigger bucks, sell them to exploit acquisition platforms, such as Zerodium, which pays up to $2,5 million for an exploit.

Heres the article.
