I don't see any reason to think their motive was money or fame or anything like that. They probably just decided that convincing politicians and the general public, and getting legislation passed, was so important that dirty tactics were justified in order to accomplish that goal. If 90% of studies say one thing and 10% say the other thing, the scientific community is capable of drawing conclusions, but the rest of the public may not be. Therefore these scientists elected to squash some legitimate studies that disagreed with their own research.
I think this sort of conspiracy can happen pretty easily whenever science gets entangled with politics, but it's just so dumb because it's 100% certain to get discovered sooner or later, like it did here, and will end up hurting your cause more than it helps.
