Even angels could be tempted when 7 ton of Au is staring them in the face, mere mortals wouldn't have any hope of resisting temptation.

7 ton = 224,000 ounces

Current Au price: ~$1843/oz USD

Total value: ~$412,832,000 USD.

Comparing a ran astray shadowy "intelligence" organisation of a major imperialistic power that operates with impunity even within its own country borders, is kind of a stretch.
