Looking at the indictment it appears "Individual A" was blackmailing Hastert over something that happened back when he was a HS wrestling coach in the 60s and 70s. So this may not be your typical Illinois political  corruption.

It is definitely blackmail, that is spelled out.

once i saw the actual indictment I knew it was something like this. US Attorney doesnt mention a defendent was a HS coach in 1970s unless it is relevent.

I wonder if Individual A has proof of the misconduct. This was a lot of money to pay for just an accusation that could be denied, especially if Hastert could say the person was trying to blackmail him.
It is interesting that the indictment doesn't say "alleged misconduct"
