According to the book "Conspirator's Hierarchy" by Dr. John Coleman, "Every British monarch since 1729 has benefited immensely from the drug trade and this holds good for the present occupant of the throne." Presuming the above statement is true (and it does seem to have logic to it), I would be really curious which venerable British company took over BEIC's thriving opium/drug business. It will be one showing a major profit... perhaps an oil concern?
