So why exactly did they close source, what were they losing by having AGPL? I thought AGPL + selling private licenses to corps was a fantastic method of getting some income for an open source offering.

The moves they have been making seem to be similar to what one would see if the VC money was getting tight or alternatively they were bought out by a Private Equity firm.

Similar to the way Broadcom did with VMware hiking prices astronomically for their largest clients, and basically killing the SME offering.
