Emerdata Limited Shareholder details - Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC & Mercers (Rebekah, Jennifer, Heather) own approx 79% ordinary shares and 56% preference shares, Alexander Nix owns approx 14% ordinary shares /2
…mages-prod.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/docs/KRVkrDtB4…
Here's the May 2018 document showing Rebekah and Jennifer Mercers as the board and the preferred majority interest for Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC
Most of these seem to be new companies holding preference shares, perhaps related to new board member Gary Ka Chun Tiu, who likely replaced Johnson Chun Shun Ko (Erik Prince's business partner) or prior board members Cheng Peng and Ahmad Al Khatib

Note that many of the shareholders were prior shareholders of SCL Group/CA cos (e.g. Gabb (Glendower Trust related to Gabbs), Rollo, Marland, Boote (Nix's sister) - main additions are the new companies on final page
I'm on it! thread 👆🏼😁
Great find by @brazencapital - one of the Emerdata shareholders Trinity Gate Ltd (which owns approx 6% of Emerdata preference shares) appears to be the same company that is a minority owner of Frontier Services Group (run by Erik Prince)
This May 2018 circular shows Emerdata Ltd shareholder Trinity Gate as a minority shareholder of Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group

Both Paul Manafort & Rick Gates gave data to Konstantin Kilimnik in the spring 2016 - some data was developed by a private polling firm working for the campaign - Manafort asked Gates to tell Kilimnik to pass the data to Oleg Deripaska, HT @painter_nancy nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
Manafort and Gates passed polling data to Kilimnik to be sent to Putin ally Oleg Deripaska

Kilimnik also worked with Sam Patten who consulted for Cambridge Analytica

One of the services provided by Cambridge Analytica was polling
While the identity of the polling company is not known, here's how Cambridge Analytica described their work for the Trump campaign:

"The research team had a huge responsibility in organizing campaigns and polling voters in 17 states across the country."

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

NEWS: I prevailed! Cambridge Analytica’s administrators attempting to liquidate have conceded to our concerns about my undisclosed data. They have 14 days to fully disclose. Have they misled the court? Matter referred to the High Court. Stay tuned. Thanks as always to @RaviNa1k
Some coverage if you’re just discovering my data quest.

These articles are obviously from an earlier time when we didn’t realize as much we do now how Cambridge Analytica may sit squarely within the Mueller, Congressional and Parliamentary investigations. But today is another vindication that we have always been correctly concerned.

Whoah! Cambridge Analytica rides again. The American entity - Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC - named as "person with significant control" in listing for Emerdata in UK Companies House. What's afoot?
I expect @WendySiegelman is all over this. Wendy? What's going on? Is this to anything to do with the bankruptcy filings @ravinaik @profcarroll?
Right. Mercers & Nix back on the road again. What are they actually doing though?!?

💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.

What happened at Cambridge Analytica was not an accident. It was deliberate and exploitative:
Facebook’s 2017 Privacy Audit did not catch Cambridge Analytica: wired.com/story/facebook…

UK Parliament wants Zuck to answer at least 39 questions under oath:

What exactly does Zuckerberg mean when he says users own our own data?
“2.2 billion people who use Facebook would love to cash a check from the company, but the sad truth is that this is nothing but a pipe dream. It suggests that this isn't Facebook's problem to solve, it's yours, and that doesn't sound like a fair deal.”
