comeuppances
Just rewards received
Comeuppances is the plural of comeuppance, a deserved punishment or misfortune that befalls someone who has behaved badly.
The word implies justice catching up with wrongdoers: After years of cheating investors, he finally got his comeuppance.
Usually singular—multiple comeuppances suggests several people each receiving their due: The film ends with the villains all getting their comeuppances.
