Yes, clearly post hoc ergo propter hoc in this case. There could be no other possible explanation. I'm sure that he received the money in brown paper bags and nobody noticed, despite the fact that he added it directly to his publically declared worth.

No doubt John Roberts, who took a pay cut from $1 million a year to $255,000 a year when he left private practice to become a judge in 2003, is totally taking bribes.
