Kaspersky uncovered iOS vulnerabilities in 'Operation Triangulation', reported to Apple, but was refused bounty payment
Apple's Security Bounty Program offers rewards up to $1 million for discovering vulnerabilities to prevent them from being sold on the dark web
Apple's refusal to pay Kaspersky could be due to restrictions on financial transactions with companies in sanctioned countries like Russia.

What has trust go to do with anything. Apple cannot pay them due to sanctions. There is nothing to indicate they don't want to pay them, they are just legally not allowed to do so.

So do something else. Or indicate you will pay them when it is legal to do so. Kapersky's guy recommended Apple donate the bounty to a charity.
