Gonna go out on a limb and I would guess that they were coerced and the money is a cover.

“You have a very nice family - I hope nothin happens to them “

I would like to add there are generally four causes/reasons for someone to betray their country:

M - Money - self explanatory
I - Ideology - ie "Communism is better and I support it"
C - Coercion - "you have a very pretty daughter - hope nothing bad happens to her"
E - Ego "I'm the smartest person in the room"

M - Money - self explanatory
A - Anger - "you don't respect me, passed me over for promotion, ignored me, so I'll show you"
L - Love/Lust - "oh baby, you're so great in bed, I'll do anything to be with you"
I - Ideology - ie "Communism is better and I support it"
C - Coercion - "you have a very pretty daughter - hope nothing bad happens to her"
E - Ego "I'm the smartest person in the room"

You missed a couple.

Yup, it's the standard mnemonic of agent recruitment.

The "A" and "L" that I interposed came from a course(?), seminar(?), conversation I participated in years decades ago. The individual leading the discussion suggested them because, in his experience, using MICE limited thinking about the usual weaknesses of targets - they made most decisions in the heat of the moment or they thought with their dicks.

Actually anger feeds into ego

Love/Lust is coercion or compromise
