No one knows how much the Feds pay people. Anyways, Felix can't actually defect now, since he's told Locus to go screw himself, killed a bunch of their guys, smashed in at least one of their bases and generally raised hell, so even if he did want the money they pay, they probably aren't in the mood to listen to him anyway.
