It's really impossible to tell without knowing more details, given how many times gov't clients change requirements it's easily possible that they were just wasting time.

Also speaking of lots of money for wordpress sites, what did AOL pay for Techcrunch?

Apples and oranges. AOL was not buying design and developer time. They were buying talent and eyeballs.
