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

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.

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

This goes a long way in legitimizing anything released.
