 The Swedish Hats-government (controlled by pro-Jacobite freemasons) had invited Sephardic Jews in England to join the Swedish East India Company, which also included a number of Scottish diaspora who were members of the Masonic Lodges.The British government thus encouraged pro-Hanoverian freemason Joseph Salvador and Sampson Gideon to entice influential Scots to join the British East India Company to undermine the Swedish-based Jacobite masonry.Sampson Gideon was able to successfully navigate the South Sea Company bubble, which bankrupted so many prominent people in Britain (indeed, James Picciotto in his "Sketches of Anglo-Jewish History" states that no "Hebrew" name is to be found on the list of insolvencies).
