It seems evident that the plan all along was for Microsoft to acquire what's left of Nokia. This was probably blessed by the board of directors in strict secrecy. Of course I'm just guessing here, but the more details are surfacing the more it seems like that. Microsoft is paying 70% of the Mr. Elop's reward (source: Finnish news).

Finnish laws follow Nokia, not the other way around. See "lex Nokia":
