I don't think they have went back to the Government in the situation they were in. Their cover page story tells us everything about that. And if you see in some chapter where the brokers first are shown, you will see a shadow with a huge top hat and Hair that resembles Lucci, which gives me the reason to think that he and his group of former CP9 agents have become pirates over the timeskip.
