You're assuming that he has already told everything he knows.  If he's
smart he'll have held something back so he'll have something to bargain
with in the future; if there's reason to believe so, and that he intends
to reveal that later, then the status of mosser is still active.  Also,
his intention to testify at his victims' trials may mean that he's still
a mosser, depending on what would happen if he were unable to testify.
