Butt ready to make startling fixing revelations : Cricketnext
"Since he is aware that his international career is more or less over he now wants to also expose others," one source said.
Butt after returning to Pakistan last week had pleaded innocence but admitted he committed a mistake in not informing the ICC anti-corruption authorities about approaches made to him to fix matches.
Butt insists that while his agent, Mazhar Majeed made approaches to him but he never did any spot-fixing and is innocent.
Interestingly, another source said that Butt has also decided to cash in on his high demand in the media even during his ban period.
"He apparently has negotiated a big amount to give a press conference and exclusive interview rights to a broadcaster," the source said.

Salman Butt says he wasn't behind Mohammad Amir's spot-fixing
I had always asked him to have his hair cut, but he never listened to me. Then how was he ready to do such a big thing [at my behest]?

Pakistan Cricket News: Salman Butt pleads to play again as appeal looms | ESPN Cricinfo
Salman Butt, the former Pakistan captain, has asked for a chance to resume his playing career as he prepares to challenge his ICC ban handed down for spot-fixing during the Lord's Test against England in 2010.
Butt, who was banned for 10 years with the possibility of five suspended, and Mohammad Asif, currently serving a seven-year ban with two suspended, will appear at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland, over the next two days in a last-ditch attempt to appeal against the bans.
In a statement released through his lawyer on Wednesday, Butt said: "It may be easy for some people to say that a five-year ban from cricket is all right but what they don't realise is that for a sportsman like me - this is like a lifetime ban," he said in a statement issued by his solicitors this afternoon.
Asif's hearing is scheduled for Thursday and Butt's for Friday. Unlike criminal trials, CAS hearings are held in private and not open to either the public or media.
Lawyers from both parties - the ICC and the player - will present arguments in front of the three-strong arbitrators panel, including the current president of CAS. Butt will be represented by Yasin Patel, a London-based barrister, who was also part of the legal team that fought his case in the UK.
CAS, which was formed in 1983 to rule on a variety of disputes within sport, is widely regarded as the final point in the appeal process. It cannot reverse the UK court rulings because the criminal proceedings were under UK laws, but it does have the power to reduce or overturn the ICC sanctions as they are part of the appeal system laid down in the ICC anti-corruption code. If the outcome was an alteration to the bans it is unlikely that there would be a counter-appeal process open to the ICC. No new witnesses or evidence can be produced by the players.
