The problem of collateral intelligence information

As you know, double-checking information is always needed. And the best way is to confirm information from several sources.
However, there is always the problem of “collateral information” - when the primary source is the same, and it was from it that the information came to those sources on which you rely.

Here's what it looks like in practice:
“It happened, by chance we learned that many sources worked for us and for the GRU. You check through the GRU - it’s like reliable information, but in fact it was brought by the same person who worked with us and with them for money” .

Thank you, as always, money or other benefits come first.

Classically, it is believed that work only for money makes a person not the most stable partner. Although very common. Better is when money and idea or, for example, money and revenge. or money and ambition. In general, something intangible too. But precisely "too," and not by itself. The ideological platform may change.
