I looked up "bagman" in the OED, because I thought it meant something
disreputable but couldn't remember what. Here's one of the definitions:
b. One who collects or administers the collection of money obtained by
racketeering and other dishonest means. slang (orig. and chiefly U.S.).
It goes on at some length and with quotations to explain that specifically,
a bagman is someone who deals with the ill-gotten gains of some other,
higher-ranking criminal ...
Ludo Bagman may not, of course, be as dumb as he appears, but whether he is
or not, it's possible that he is the underling and/or cat's-paw and/or
shield for a Death Eater. Maybe Fudge? I really don't like Fudge.
