If people can only be registered with one agency, how can they be double agents?

Thanks.

Just because an agent is technically assigned to one agency, does not mean that agency is where that agent's allegiances lie.

In the game, double agents are usually recruited when the agent is already with another agency, so they are turned whilst already recruited and then asked to pass along information, sabotage the agency etc. Or they are recruited just after they post in this thread asking to be recruited, they are not recruited formally (their agent code is not put into the recruitment box) but they are told to get recruited at an enemy agency and then help out the agency they are really working for.

I hope that makes more sense. In essence, the term 'recruitment' does not imply that the person has been formally recruited through the game software. A double agent cannot earn points for their true agency because they are not formally recruited there, instead they can weaken the security of other agencies, leak codes which are then blown by their true agency in order to gain points.
