perhaps he was selling secrets to Russia, and had been selling military secrets to China since the 90's. China uses real estate as a way to bank/pay/move money around, so instead of taking money directly, China was underselling real estate to him in exchange for the government secrets. My guess with the leaker crackdown that is happening, someone who is a part of his deals got caught or busted, and he knew he was about to go down. That Australian "girlfriend" of his may just be his Chinese contact - she goes to Australia, gets citizenship, then from there her Chinese background gets covered up while she makes deals for the Chinese government.
Perhaps that is why she ran - she caught wind of the Feds through Chinese spies and alerted him while she bolted, and instead of getting outed and arrested, he does this to cover it up.
