Well, he has made money on the books he wrote before he rejoined the FBI. AFAIK most writers get their money when publishers buy their manuscript and the some sort of bonus if their book is a surprise hit (and then later, sort of residuals which are rather minor as book sales dwindle), so he's not loosing that much money there. But if he published any books before he retires again then he can't receive any compensation.
