So. The CRC (“Constitutional Research Council”) made the £425k donation to the DUP to support their Brexit campaign.
That money was spent not so much in NI but on a wrap around METRO spread, a feeesheet circulated mostly in London.
Also they spent with AiQ.

3/. Chris Vickery, an IT security specialist found a backdoor into the AiQ code but could find no record of DUP specified contacts or work.
