In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, British secret agent Eggsy allies with the American Secret Service to take down the criminal mastermind, Poppy Adams. By maintaining a monopoly on all recreational drugs, Poppy has become a billionaire as well as the world's biggest drug dealer. But since drugs are very illegal, she'll be arrested on sight if she re-enters society.

Tired of living in exile, Poppy formulates a plan to legalise all pharmaceuticals. After inserting a slow-acting poison in her products, she blackmails the president to legalise drugs or everyone who's taken them will die. She also demands diplomatic immunity so she can't be imprisoned for poisoning millions of people (and kidnapping Elton John). So, not only does Poppy believe she'll be free woman when this deal is made, she also assumes her profits will skyrocket tenfold after her pharmaceuticals are legalised.

However, the whole world saw Poppy admit on television that she poisoned her products. She even demonstrated how her toxin-laced products cause the user's eyes to explode! After witnessing that, nobody is going to invest in her organisation or use her products again. Even if she was given her diplomatic immunity, her company's profits would still be in the toilet.
