No way this guy’s name gets released to the public without having already garnered everything he has to offer/take.
You are exactly right. It helps those who were in such a hurry for the indictments to understand what needed to occur before the Grand Jury was called.
Unless he has refused to cooperate, in which case releasing his name and implying that he is cooperating could simply be a way to exert more pressure.
If you work for the mob, the last thing you want is for the mob to think that you are cooperating with the feds. You can end up getting suicided.
