So are critics saying this appears to be payback for something he did in 2009/2010....that the insurance companies said -- do 'x' for us and we will give you 400,000 to come and speak in 2017 . Really?
Personally, I think their (Warren and Sanders) views on this are ridiculous. The solution to wealth inequality isn't to shame people who can make a lot of money from making money. They would probably criticize anyone making over $1m/year for greed or something like that... unfortunately or fortunately, the market determines what people are paid for which services.
They are not shaming him because of making a lot of money. Nether condemned the millions from book fee's. They are condemning how he is making the money in this instance.

No celebrity, whether they are writer or politician, speaks for free. What they get paid depends on how in-demand they are. My SO's company paid James freakin' Corden $1m for speaking at an event this year. Is James Corden greedy? Corrupt? Probably, according to Bernie and Liz. I don't feel at all offended about Obama, Bush, or even, one day, Trump, getting six figure fees for speaking. They have high profile roles, and are in demand. Duh?
Wall Street does not give without an expectation of a return and they get it.

Quite the web you weave...now, dare you ..errr..prove it/ Can you..prove it?
“Insiders don’t criticize insiders,” Larry Summers once advised Elizabeth Warren. Summers wore many insider hats of impressive couture: White House economist, hedge fund adviser, president of Harvard, and Treasury Secretary.
If insurance companies are making so much money, why are they saying they aren't and pulling out of markets?
