Throughout the series he's had a habit of drawing a hard line in the sand, only to dive right over it soon after. Ultimately this had the same outcome but it wasn't as direct. He was actually ready to give it all up to save his family.

But I'm sure his next thought would've been 'now how can I scheme this money back'

Just like the nazis were obviously prepared to just kidnap a muthafucka and make him cook.

No way this was going to end well. It's some shady dudes on this program, yo.
