While I don't doubt that most in the CIA and the other agencies frown on such activity, it's simply impossible for them to keep tabs on every agent and asset - least of all their most highly-trained and skilled personnel, if they decide to 'break bad'.
And when they do, who do they collude with? With well-connected businessmen with clean record, naturally.
