Kinda funny to see 1BTC sent to check it worked before they sent the rest. Cant undo it like a wire transfer...

But why 1 BTC? That's worth more than 10k. Surely they could have sent a fraction? Or maybe they didn't know bitcoins can be split?

10k is not that much considering they are ready to pay out 5M

No but isn't it just as easy to send a fraction of a bitcoin? Why spend a whole one to do something you could do with 1/100th?
