What the hackers do is irrelevant. What matters is that they disclose it to the public so that those affected can take necessary actions. Failure to do so deserve a hefty punishment irrespective of whether or not they pay the hacker

It's not about if they pay the hackers, it's what's the punishment for being late to disclose vs being exposed you didn't disclose on time.

I imagine the punishment is worse if you're outed vs late but voluntary?

In US? I doubt that the punishment is more than a slap on the wrist.
