No consensus needed on this one. The Official Unofficial SRTCG FAQ at
http://members.home.net/porthos/srtcg/sc_QandA.html has this ruling from=
FASA:

Q2: Regarding the Bounty Hunter, does the amount of nuyen paid always equal
the Body as printed in the Runner's threat rating? Or does the amount of
nuyen paid equal "current" body (i.e. - augmented by cyberware, decreased
by damage taken, etc.)
A2: You pay the Runner's current Body value (however it's modified--damage,
dermal plating, whatever) when using Bounty Hunter.

Call it weasel-wording if you will, it's still the word from FASA.
