I'd love for that to be true!  It would be great if there was a 
saboteur in Voldemort's inner circle.  (Excuse me if I get this next 
part wrong, I'm at work slacking and don't have my books handy!)  
Didn't Dumbledore give Fake!Moody the Veritaserum?  If so, and he 
really was working against Voldemort, the Veritaserum should have 
made Fake!Moody reveal that.  Unless Fake!Moody has some special 
ability or immunity to Veritaserum that we don't know about, which I 
doubt.
