The article alludes to this story[1] but not explicitly: the legend is that he was giving money to FSB officers to bribe Ukranian military to simply drop their weapons when the invasion happens. The FSB guys thought (I paraphrase): "Untraceable cash to prepare for an event that will never happen (invasion of Ukraine)? Wahey, get me the Mercedes dealership on the phone!". And when they found out Putin was actually serious about invading, they knew they'd be toast, so they thought they could leak the plans to the CIA to give Putin cold feet.
