From the article, I think the "remaining money" may be entirely notional. It talks about Ron Graham chipping in $5k to help cover a $10K bounty.

Besides, these days the money is mostly beside the point. It is like those Knuth reward checks, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_reward_check. In most cases, certainly the most recent $500 "happy ending" problem, the bragging rights are worth more than the money.
