Title: Who was the traitor that sold out Old Hoxton?
Question: Throughout the mission "Hoxton Breakout", Old Hoxton keeps saying lines like "I know who fucking sold me out", "There's a traitor already deep within our group". Does he ever reveal who the traitor is?  I haven't completed Second Day yet because it's so hard.

Answers:
sents: text: As of the release of today's Hoxton Revenge the traitor is: Hector.
text: Some additional notes about the traitor:
text: It seems that he was coerced into providing information for the FBI and he didn't really have a way out.
text: From the 3 tapes you can find across the map , they all imply that the FBI would hound Hector unless he provided the right info.
text: And that on each of his jobs: Firestarter's Day 1 had cops conveniently in the area where you are going to get weapons.
text: On Day 2, for some reason you'll need to infiltrate an FBI Headquarters.
text: and On Rats Day 1, after entering the meth lab, the cops come right away, literally arriving on the scene immediately.
text: Too fishy to be a coincidence
text: right?
text: On Rats Day 2, when you visit the other gang's location, cops are also there "conveniently" looking for that gang.
text: as well as Watchdogs was a set up, since on Day 1 you are surrounded by law enforcers.
text: This is also revealed in the tapes you find throughout the house .
text: On Day 2 additionally the truck is already surrounded by cops at the start of the heist.

sents: text: It is not yet known who ratted out old Hoxton.
text: On the second day, you break into an FBI office to steal some information.
text: According to the Payday Wiki : [...] he [old Hoxton] has just recently acquired and decrypted several classified FBIfiles regarding the background and criminal history of Dallas alongwith Wolf, Chains and himself.
text: The files are being put together for anupcoming release, though it is not explained if the files are aboutthe previous heister or the current one.
text: I guess we will find out who the rat is eventually, and get some missions to deal with him.

sents: text: It's definitely NOT Matt.
text: Hoxton says in day 1 that he's already taken care of him if you listen to his dialogue while he's in the back of the truck.
text: It could be the dentist, the elephant, Vlad, or even Gage, Bain or one of the crew.
text: Could be the upcoming female heister, too.
text: They haven't said she's part of the team yet.
text: Who knows?
text: Just have to wait and see.

sents: text: As of right now, it's unknown who the traitor is .
text: Hoxton knows he was sold out, but doesn't know who did it.
text: In the second day of the Hoxton Breakout heist, you break into the FBI Headquarters and Hoxton hacks and steals his case files.
text: In this second day, he finds information that confirms he was ratted out, and there is indeed a traitor.
text: Certain events on this day are randomly generated, and one of these randomly generated events involves getting the traitor's DNA from an evidence room.
text: But the traitor's identity is still not revealed.
text: At the end of this day, you grab the server and carry it to the getaway car; Hoxton says he will go through the data later, and find out who betrayed the group.
text: Currently, Payday 2 is doing a Spring Break special, with updates almost every day until March 21.
text: One of these updates will be releasing the Hoxton Revenge Heist .
text: In this heist, it will be revealed who the traitor is.
text: There's only four days left of the Spring Break updates, so we'll be finding who the Traitor is very soon.

sents: text: I think the traitor might work with the Dentist, because the Dentist could just make Dallas work for him after he offered to help break Hoxton out.
