Bounty (reward)

A bounty is a payment or reward of money to find, capture or kill an outlaw or a wanted person. Two modern examples of bounties are the ones placed for the capture of Saddam Hussein and his sons by the United States government^[1] and Microsoft's bounty for computer virus creators.^[2] Those who focus their time on bounties as a career are known as bounty hunters. Bounties have also been given for other reasons, such as exports under mercantilism.^[3]^[4]
