 7/18/13 Page 109 JOE, I need some help with this phrase from the quote below before I work on punctuation:

worked for and then had ready victims

From here:
Alexander Hamilton, connected too well to the British that was supposedly defeated in The Revolution, worked for and then had ready victims in what was then a Consolidated Government after The Federalist Papers (campaign promises made to be broken) Sold We The People a False Front, where The Articles of Confederation worked well enough to aid in The Revolution, but did not work well enough for a Banking Monopoly to take hold, so Alexander Hamilton, and his ilk, got their National Debt.
-------------------
I am trying to figure out how the word ready is relating to the word victims. Are they

a) "ready victims" (immediately available)

or

b) "victims that are ready" (prepared for immediate use)

Thanks!
