A distinction without a difference.

In this context, the difference is that intelligence agencies have a bigger budget: the cited hack does not show that an ordinary criminal budget would be sufficient.

Right, and the point is that organized crime and intelligence are so intertwined that state-level resources are also open to what some would term criminals and others would term the state. Both groups would be strictly correct while still missing the point.
