Now when it comes out later that perhaps he was a CI for the RCMP then obviously heads are going to have to roll because somebody screwed up huge, but that somebody is probably in a privileged position.

If he was a CI, the RCMP will never admit it.
Agents, on the other hand, become compellable witnesses and are of public record when used throughout the court process (and then right into witness protection). I imagine if there’s some big arrests in the near future, it’ll come out. Or, if RCMP want this buried forever, will suicide pill the files and we’ll never hear about it.
A one time payment of $475k is agent level money at that. Historically, that $475k wouldn’t be purely payment for him. Part of the objectives and scenarios laid out would usually require him to use the money to buy various things used in the operations, etc
