Proclamation
If this is made BEFORE the Civil War started, ADAM wasnt the 'de facto' currency yet. ADAM Addiction isnt in the public mind yet (at least no sign of it in BaSx). Cash would be better, and you could just buy ADAM with it still. So a bit odd.

If this was AFTER the Civil War started, then it implies that smuggling was still going on (even after Fontaines operation was taken down. But then it would have been smart for Fontaine to shift some resources 'for later' when planning his 'death').

Either way, this is a precedence, ADAM being used as a reward. And in BS1, Ryan offers 1000 ADAM reward for getting Jack. I suppose the whole game's storyline would become pointless if Ryan had simply (being consistant) offered 10000 ADAM for Atlas 'Dead or Alive', which with all the addicted plasmid empowered Splicers Atlas had to be near would have VERY QUICKLY lead to his elimination. (Save for a parallel universe story - all the others where Rapture continued and even thrived).
