Cryptic IBD in contaminated samples

I have read a few papers, but I find it very difficult to understand why we get cryptic identity by descent(IBD) values for the contaminated samples. Can someone please explain me the reason why we get IBD as high as 0.8 or 0.9 vs lower IBDs of 0.3 or 0.4 in case of cryptic relatedness?
