Woah. Until you brought this post back up I didn't realize how close I was with this statement. Not quite there, but so close that I can still feel good about myself.

To answer your question- no, I don't think he's working for the reapers. The collectors were tools of the Reapers, and it doesn't make sense for him to destroy his own allies. I think he was telling the truth in saying that he would use the base to further humanity's station in the galaxy.
