I think he's hedging his bets on both ends. I think that means he's looking out for what's best for him, and that he's not particularly loyal to any side -- at least that's what I hope. That he sees where the wind is blowing.
If he does set a trap and we walk into it, that could be quite profitable for him in the short term, no mistaking, but he'd put all his eggs in one basket and assume his people will ultimately win, and I don't see him being that big of a gambler. And he told us about Finnigan, which might serve to put us at ease, and might be an utter lie, but I don't think it'd offer him any advantage to lie about it. So there's that.
I think as long as this arrangement remains in his best interests, we might be able to trust at least a little.
