Russia paid him fortune for spying

By the time he was arrested, he has been paid around $1.4 million in cash, bank funds and diamonds, in exchange for compromising numerous human sources, intelligence techniques and classified U.S. documents, the FBI’s website says. It was fairly difficult to figure out as to who was the culprit who was passing in the information to the Russians. It took about 300 men to actually look at how Hanssen worked and finally getting him arrested.

He was then sentenced to jail and was kept in a very high security facility. He was fairly a very important person who was much needed to be caught by the US officials.
