You're assuming that someone got passed a suitcase full of cash and that was it. Far more likely that RSA got a $10M contract for some government work and at some point that included a request to make the ECDRBG the default for <insert plausible-sounding reason here>. All quite above board, nothing terribly suspicious to raise eyebrows.
