More likely a double agent.

    Don't romanticize him choosing to be a snitch... He wasn't even a single agent working for the FBI!

    I wasn't trying to romanticise him, rather I was suggesting that he'd be trying to play the FBI in some way or another.

    I get what you're saying, but he can't "play" the FBI because he was never an agent. Information flows one way: he informs them, and they pay him. I just want to make that clear for others...
