will the other gang of four Daud al-Fanudahi, Irene Teague, Lieutenant Colonel Okiku,and Major Tarkovsky dig up info reveled in the musings of Admiral Rajampet

first is the files he had on the mandarins befor his death

Admiral Rajampet
Yeah, all well and good, but it’s not going to make tomorrow any more fun, despite the fact that you knew something like this was coming sooner or later, he reflected. But at least you did see it coming, unlike those other cretins. That’s the reason you buried your tracks as well as you did. And—he smiled thinly—if the wheels come off anyway, you’ve got enough little tidbits tucked away to convince your esteemed civilian colleagues they’d better cover your back. Doesn’t matter how good Abruzzi is. If your insurance files ever hit the news channels, they’re all dead meat.


next will they find the 3.6 billion credits and its origins he got from messa to set every thing into motion

Admiral Rajampet
He loved the taste of power—he admitted it—and for almost a hundred T-years, he’d wielded it well. But the panorama from his window was less reassuring tonight, because tomorrow he was going to have to face Kolokoltsov and the others. He didn’t expect to enjoy that session. For that matter, he wasn’t at all sure his position was going to survive it, and without his position, what did he truly have?
Well, he thought dryly, you might think about that 3.6 billion credits in your private account, Rajani. Not a bad paycheck, all things considered. And you can’t pretend you didn’t know you were supping with the devil, although maybe you might have wanted to use a spoon that was a bit longer, now that the fucking Manties’ve finally tumbled to the truth.


and how will they handle it if they do

I think the first questions are:

Does the Mesan Alignment want the information to be found?

Will it further their interests if it comes out, either privately or publicly?

If not, they may just arrange for it--both the information and/or the money--to disappear as that seems to be a favorite tactic of theirs.

However, the other gang of four knows about the links that Mesa had with Crandall and Filareta, so it could be possible they could find out or even already know about the Mesan link with Rajampet. And since bureaucratic infighting is the rule in the Solarian League, they probably suspect that he had some information tucked away on the Mandarins. Whether they can find and make use of it is yet another question.

We know that Daud already suspects Rajampet which gives our second "gang of 4" a pretty good idea where to start digging.

Manpower sure is a convenient villain, aren't they? And the corp HQ just got captured by "someone". Hmm....
