An anarchist who gives a public lecture on the Iron Republic "takes some time to thank the infernal patrons of the Republic for assisting them in "shattering the chains of earth and Heaven."" It might not be full Liberation of the Night, but it's a bit closer to it then simply climbing the Chain, and there are many Liberation supporters in the Iron Republic itself, "a city of anarchists."
Huh.
I still doubt that Hell would choose to support a full-on LoN, due to how they and their law-factories work, but thank you for this note.
I think maybe it's more sinister than that: Hell and the Fingerkings are both interested in the LoN because they, as Parabolans, have an interest in and command over that which is not. When law is not (i.e. the Liberation succeeds), it's theirs, and they can do as they please with it. I think they're helping the revolutionaries because after the Liberation Parabola can reorganize the universe in its image.

The cash flow has only recently begun, with the Election. It being a way of funding his election campaign, that I can see. There is no evidence of these investments being made prior to the Election for whatever services you would like to imply Feducci is paid for. Though if there is, I shall retract or amend this statement.
It's not so recent, because it takes a while for a merchant venture to get underway, cross the under-zee to Adams Way, return, conclude, and distribute it's profits. Feducci has already received the return on his investments, so these affairs have concluded. Which is to say, they happened a while ago.

Whilst us players are aware that we have 14 days of electioneering, we do not know how much time passes within the world of the Neath during this period. My interpretation of the wording (which is open to debate) is that the bets have all been made since the beginning of the campaign, hence his campaign bookies being the ones keeping track of them. If Feducci is the spymaster you claim he is, I doubt he'd hand over past records to them.

Or he could have been planning to run, and made preparations based on that so he'd have money.

A distinct possibility.

That's the Admiralty. The military has been basically defunct since the failed invasion of Hell.
