I just did a calculation off this old NY Times article.

Mr. Dochow is only 58 years old. And now he’s retired with a comfy cushy pension and probably health care for life!
It’s obvious. Obama’s team let this go through because:
a) further revelations could undermine public confidence
b) nothing must undermine the public’s new-found belief that the public employees are “good” and more public employees will “help” them
and
c) He probably has the goods on others...must be kept quiet.
Yup. You don't work in a position like that without knowing where all the skeletons are buried. They basically made a deal to hush him up.
