It had nothing to do with money. Pai is a former Verizon lawyer. He did exactly as he was expected to do.

Yes, but this was decades ago. Pai's tenure was more recent. On top of that, he has a few years in as an FCC commissioner where he's consistently voted down every pro-consumer act, and even outright refused to meet with Tom Wheeler during his time there.
