I think he did for the following reasons: someone gave the fed a razor to get free. Also, when they're in Whitefall and Jayne takes out one of Patience's men, he looks through the scope at Mal and just smiles like he sees how easy it would be to take him out. Later, he tells Mal the money wasn't good enough, but the Fed told him it would be money enough for him to buy his own ship.

I think it was like in Ariel where he takes the offer but it doesn't work out for him.

What do y'all think?

When sighting the scope on Mal, that is a valid test sighting, using the features of an actual person to verify the focus, range and feature recognition is good enough for when the others show up. Much more accurate than focusing on some rock or shrub.
Can't say if this was the sole intent of Jayne, tho.

It is entirely conceivable that Jayne left the razor for Dobson. I sure wouldn't have cut his bands for him. Just as easy for Dobson to then not hold up his end of the bargain and turn on Jayne. Give Dobson the razor and make him do it himself, then that way there is plausible deniability if Dobson would be caught, and you are nowhere near when he does break free. If things go south, you can just shoot him.

I dunno whether this says more about our crew or about pirates in general.

I think that either theory, betrayal or not, is plausible and both have good arguments. I slightly lean towards the idea that Jayne didn't do it, but he could have and there is that razor business.
