There is always some risk for any person to get in trouble. And there are indirect ways to find such potentially troublesome situation, provoke it and control the process. That is what secret services must be able to do. Of course nobody came to a girl and say "I am Bond. James Bond. I'll pay you $1e6 if you will accuse that guy". But for example, she could occasionally find or hear something that makes her mad about that guy. Or find a clue how to became a celebrity (if that is what she dreamed of) etc. etc. Conspiracies are delicate matter.
The result is he got a strong psychological pressure for ridiculous reasons. He became ridiculous himself because of it. Of course CIA did not want him to be killed or imprisoned for a long term or he will become a martyr and hero for the public. And this is a warning for all those narcissic would-be heroes: if you will make us troubles, then you will get exhausting ridiculous problems. Good work, CIA!
