A number of politicians were disgraced, and people found to have profited unlawfully from the company had assets confiscated proportionate to their gains (most had already been rich men and remained so).
Rida poliitikuid langes häbisse ning inimestelt, kes leiti olevat teeninud kompaniist ebaseaduslikku tulu, konfiskeeriti vara vastavalt teenitud tulule (enamik neist olid juba varem rikkad ja jäidki rikasteks).
