It looks like the treasure is a "top secret" between Haddock & Tintin.
How many other members of the cast seem to know of its existence?

By the fourth page everybody's heard of it.

Probably all of them? It was in the newspaper and the ships cook seemed to know of it in the first page

That everyone knows. I am talking about the last pages of Red Rackham's Treasure, where the treasure is dicscovered in the basement of the castle.

Moderator Note: With respect, pokemon, you are changing the nature of your question; members have tried to answer your question, so the least you could do is thank them, and say that you weren't clear eough to begin with, not scold them for not being psychic enough to know what you were thinking, eh?
As it happens, your re-phrasing doesn't actually help much, as the "last page" isn't when the treasure is found, it's the public reception to display the articles recovered from 'The Unicorn', which suggests that the level of secrecy about what's gone on is nil.
Given that:
a) at no time do Tintin and Haddock say that they won't tell people about the treasure;
b) Calculus knows about the treasure seconds after Tintin and Haddock find it;
c) Why wouldn't they tell people about it?; and
d) the Tintin books exist in Tintin's world (they are the fruits of his journalistic endeavours, after all)
it's safe to say that the whole adventure is available to anyone who wants to find out about it!
