The question is what companies the people responsible for these actions at CA move to. A company minus the people isn't even an empty shell and irrelevant in and of itself.
This sort of thing is why it's so important that bad actors face personal liability and actual criminal charges. Way too easy to just walk away and restart the same scam with a new name.
In business, it’s often possible to change the name and get the plausible deniability you need to continue.
In politics, any future venture by these people is going to have a difficult time. No candidate wants to be called out for employing anyone from CA’s core team now.
What’s also going to be really hard to shake is th litany of articles pointing out that CA actually failed pretty badly at achieving its promises. Just consider the “honey trap” offers they were making: if you actually own the secret sauce to influence elections with big data and machine learning and psycho ops... why go for the oldest, most shady trick in the book?
