Really!?

Words have meanings. It is useful to know them.

He loses once he gives the data to a journalist. There was ZERO reason for him to do that.

How about "to prove he wasn't just making the whole thing up"?

Then just redact it. Remove sensitive data.

He didn't have to. We're talking about the real world here, not kindergarten. If he absolutely had to go public, he could at least anonymize the data before handing it over to a journalist.
