Checking for vulnerabilities IMO shouldn't be considered a crime - it's not a clear malicious intent. Sure if somebody is trying to open car doors in the parking lot that may warrant investigation - but for all we know they were just trying to warn drivers they left it unlocked, no actual crime has yet been committed.

But after you have this data, I jokingly suggested "welp may as well capitalize on it". But missing with somebody elses money, especially a large fin-tech company will get a lot of people upset, people with money to sue, not to mention it's the FBI's job to go after you, especially at this scale.

You could certainly try just be aware the reaction will not be favorable for you at all.
