Just because someone is confirmed scum doesn't mean everything they say is wrong. If scum only spouted things that were blatantly false all the time, they would be easy to ignore. That's why a good mafioso says plenty of things that are perfectly sensible on a regular basis. There's no reason to ignore these statements just because they come from a mafioso. It's a relatively simple process to put a mental stamp of "Questionable Motive" on their statements, to give them their proper evidentiary weight.
In any case, I don't think that either Andres or Jolt know the identity of the our surviving scumbag. They're definitely trying to cause confusion, but I suspect they're incapable of totally misleading us simply because they don't know who to lead us away from. Hence their scatter-shot of accusations at pretty much everyone alive.
