>The suspect initially offered his services to Russian intelligence for financial gain. Apparently this is what alerted him to German counterintel. There was then an offer made to a representative of the USA.
The article you link does not corroborate this. Actually it reads like he approach the Americans first, got money for it, went to the Russians and was caught then. (And this makes more sense too, if him contacting the Russians alerted German counterintelligence why would they not have apprehended him immediately, given that the material he offered is related to ongoing affairs?)
