It's not like Tony cracked the FBI computer If the allegations are true, he still would not be the one accessing the information illegally and directly. The FBI agents were accessing the information as per the indictment. If they did do that, I believe they are in the wrong for two reasons. One, they accessed information that didn't have to do with a current FBI investigation if that's the case and two, they were sharing that information with tony, a non-FBI person. Here's a what-if scenario. Let's say Tony does a report on scammy company POS. He forwards his report to the FBI. They call him up and say thanks for helping them go after POS. They do a little research, have some questions then call Tony up and go "um, does this name ring a bell to you? How is this entity related to POS? I see trades by so and so in such and such a country. Ya, turns out the CEO is a convicted felon. These scammers never change." While in the course of their investigation, they share a little information with him in order to get his expert opinion. He helps them put two and two together. He thinks he's helping out the FBI. This seems okay to me. I'm not saying this is what happened. I'm just saying maybe this is what happened. I have no idea what happened.
