Not that it's for me to stick up for Sunak, but if he was really only interested in personal gain, he'd have stayed running a hedge fund. He'd make a lot more money doing that than he ever will as a politician, active or otherwise.
He'll get his rewards later. These people are just placeholders put there to push through private interests. Whatever corruption happens, if it happens, won't be openly traceable, but Sunak will be very, very wealthy when he's done. See how much money Johnson's had shovelled down his gullet since. Sunak's 'freeport' project will be worth far more to, to pick a completely random example, Indian business tycoons than what Johnson's done (or not done).
