− | A '''bounty''' (from [[Latin]] bonitās, [[goodness]]) is a payment or '''reward''' often offered by a group as an incentive for the accomplishment of a task by someone usually not [[associated]] with the [[group]]. Bounties are most commonly issued for the capture or retrieval of a [[person]] or object. They are typically in the form of [[money]]. By [[definition]] bounties can be retracted at any time by whomever issued them. Two [[modern]] examples of bounties are the bounty placed for the capture of Saddam Hussein and his sons by the United States and Microsoft's bounty for computer virus creators. Those who make a living by pursuing bounties are known as bounty hunters.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_%28reward%29] | + | A '''bounty''' (from [[Latin]] bonitās, [[goodness]]) is a payment or '''reward''' often offered by a group as an incentive for the accomplishment of a task by someone usually not [[associated]] with the [[group]].
