Time line? Weren't almost 5 years enough?
Google was advising us not to buy/sell links since 2003. See a previous post of mine about this: Link Selling - Unethical or Just Unwise?

If people did not ignore them, the "nofollow" attribute would not have been needed now.

Many ignored Google's advise, so now their time came to pay the price.
