I think this could be a very effective countermeasure. It reduces trust between members of a crew, and between crews themselves. If you're constantly suspicious of Ivan the mail campaign guy ratting you out for a payday, it makes the whole business focus more on opsec and less on offense. Though sole operators can do plenty of damage on their own, they probably are less likely to be state-backed.

Does it come with Green Card for Ivan?

>it makes the whole business focus more on opsec

and that is bad?

With $10M in the bank there are surely many countries that would welcome him with open arms.
You need only to invest 500K (that passes AML) in US to get a green card.
No longer the case. EB5 requires $1,800,000 that can be reduced to $900,000 if it's in the Targeted Employment Area.
According USCIS website, it is still 500K[1].

with known criminal background? That is my point - without State Department waiving such requirement and issuing GC/witness protection the Ivan would be easy reachable for FSB in any other country.
