The Union of Concerned Scientists has released a report entitled The Climate Deception Dossiers.
For nearly three decades, many of the world's largest fossil fuel companies have knowingly worked to deceive the public about the realities and risks of climate change.
Their deceptive tactics are now highlighted in this set of seven "deception dossiers"—collections of internal company and trade association documents that have either been leaked to the public, come to light through lawsuits, or been disclosed through Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests.
So now we have some idea of "What fossil fuel companies knew and when they knew it". Full report available here [pdf].

Except that, in an apocalyptic scenario as you described, their electronic money has no value.
It has no value now, other than that which is given it by consensus. Same as gold or silver or jewels. But that is irrelevant, in the Middle Ages there was no electronic money. Yet there were probably even more lords and kings ruling ruthlessly over others. Our apocalypse won't come with a bang, but with many whimpers. Most of those that control with power and wealth now will be positioning themselves to do the same as their ancient predecessors, and same as then there will be plenty of thugs and criminals willing to ally themselves with the "lords" for a piece of the pie. Sociopaths unfortunately almost always win out, at least until another sociopath displaces them.
