"Hector had been trying over and over for years to develop him as a
resource, and so far - technically - Zoyd had hung on to his virginity."
(VL, 12)
 
I suppose the insertion of "technically" does allow for some ambiguity
in the matter, but Zoyd is hardly a government-subsidized snitch on a 
par with Frenesi and Flash. He comes dangerously close after having been 
framed with a big, shaggy monolith of marijuana, but Sasha comes sashaying 
in and saves the day (VL, 294-95) - summoned, it is implied, by a phone 
call from Hector.
