Apparently Heinrich Kieber, currently the world's most famouse police informant, has been keeping up a pen-pal relationship with his benefactors at the German BND. Their last letter from Kieber was received right about he time his information set loose a series of raids on tax evaders in Germany. His tone? Worried, according to Spiegel.

And more, from France24.com:

"You are putting my life in danger," Heinrich Kieber wrote to German intelligence services, according to German weekly Focus in an article released Saturday in advance of publication. The informant has blamed the intelligence services for not keeping his identity secret and asked them to provide him with a new identity so that he can relocate to South America. His request has been refused, Focus reported.

As far as we know, Kieber is in hiding and still among the living, with Australia being his most likely port of call. How long he stays that way remains to be seen. Amongst those who Kieber outed to the German government for tax evasion, are those who don't find such things amusing and might be prone to retaliation.

The Russian mob is one group that has been mentioned along with the odd royal family or petty dictator - any of whom could decide to make it difficult for Kieber to enjoy his new found wealth.
