Al-Khatib said the new company would "investigate ways to procure internet histories or data from companies such as Google" - with Google described as a more valuable future data source than Facebook

Alexander Tayler, former chief data officer who briefly took over running Cambridge Analytica following the ouster of Alexander Nix, now consults for Intrepid Capital Partners, a private equity firm co-founded by Cyrus Vandrevala, an Indian tech investor

The plot thickens - Auspex International Ltd with two directors - Omar Al Khatib (reportedly the brother of Ahmad Al Khatib) and Alastair Harris

According to Companies House filings - Alastair Harris is person with significant control, with ownership of 75% or more of Auspex International Ltd

Alaistar Harris who is significant owner of Auspex International Ltd lists on his LinkedIn page that he was Campaign Director for Cambridge Analytica for 3 months from March to May 2018

I'm confused by FT article stating Ahmad Al Khatib is sole investor of the company "to be called Auspex International" - when there's an Auspex International incorporated on 7 June 2018, which has Omar Al Khatib as director and Alaistar Harris is significant owner cc @Ailya_ram
