What's to stop them from being paid to shut up, then just releasing it anyway?

Death

They're anonymous... That's why they're using Bitcoin.

You're convinced the US gov't can't find out who they are ?

Just depends dude. They are hackers.. so surely they know how to obscure themselves.. Bitcoin is made to be able to be done anonymously, if done right. However nothing is foolproof.

The lose ends will be tied up eventually. This never goes unpunished

And wouldn’t it just be further incriminating evidence?

Nothing.

It might actually help them get away with the loot to release them. The authorities' focus goes from recovering the bounty to damage control on the leaked info.

Exactly, a payment would also act like an admission as well.

'x paid to have these documents hidden, but here they are anyway'

This goes a long way in legitimizing anything released.
