Looks like an update on the attempt to liquidate SCL Elections (aka Cambridge Analytica) available next week. Cc @RaviNa1k @WendySiegelman beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/082562…
Administrator’s Update on liquidating CA/SCL available for public download. You can see they finally acknowledge there are outstanding data protection claims against the companies. Also you can read their baffling position on the ICO criminal prosecution. beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/082562…
You may find it interesting to review some of what has been occupying the administrators, funded by Emerdata, to wind-up Cambridge Analytica.
Folks, you can stop emailing these guys. I'm all over it.
In case you were wondering what it might cost to liquidate an entity like Cambridge Analytica…and who's paying for it.
It must be challenging work to unwind all these various companies. You may recognize SCL Social Ltd as the arm that did the micro-targeted FARA-registered campaign for United Arab Emirates to promote a Qatar boycott. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
This is a most insignificant detail but basically the only asset they've been able to recover so far is an artwork hanging in the offices that they sold to a former employee. Of course, I'm dreadfully curious to know which piece from the office collection Mr Ahmed snagged.
My best guess is that Mr Ahmed purchased this piece that was shown in @JamieJBartlett's astonishing interview with Mr Nix on BBC Secrets of Silicon Valley, Episode 2, still never broadcast in the USA.
@JamieJBartlett Notable items you won't find in updated Cambridge Analytica insolvency report:
—SCL Group Inc (convicted Mike Flynn amended his disclosure form to add consulting gig during presidential transition) apnews.com/bfc2de11c52f40…
—$8M embezzled? by Alexander Nix businessinsider.com/alexander-nix-…

First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

USA needs a GDPR. Europe is decades ahead of us and the next Congress needs to catch up. The FTC has clearly failed to protect America’s personal data. Our approach to privacy was a mistake. Time to admit it. Time to get serious.
When we discovered that US voter data was processed by Cambridge Analytica in the UK we realized we could complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. There is no such equivalent in the US. What if Cambridge Analytica hadn’t exported our data to UK?
My personal highlight of 2018: Realizing the work of 2017 had paid off. The world’s first criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica is because a simple filing with the UK ICO. Turns out, my Independence Day. Essentially, why is a British company interfering with my elections?

In this 2015 paper for NATO StratCom journal edited by a PSYOPs and TAA veteran from SCL, Giesea advocates for meme warfare, opening his essay by valorizing mega-troll Chuck C Johnson who was eventually investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee. stratcomcoe.org/jeff-giesea-it…
In this May 2017 tweet, Steve Tatham of SCL (Iota Global), veteran of British Military PSYOPs, banter about TAA as a strategy for meme warfare.
Alas, the British military connections between Brexit and Trump just didn’t get the same sensational traction as a Reid Hoffman-funded disinfo test in Alabama. buzzfeednews.com/article/thomas…

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."

💥 Cambridge Analytica executives created a company in 2017 with the Executive Director & Deputy Chairman of Erik Prince’s Frontier Services Group
medium.com/@wsiegelman/ca…
just published Cambridge Analytica news 👆🏼@annmarlowe @carolecadwalla @profcarroll @J_amesp @peterjukes @brexit_sham @ZarinaZabrisky @submergingmkt @dcpoll @Delavegalaw @traciemac_Bmore @KevinGHall @JohnAvlon @attackerman @RVAwonk @leahmcelrath @pasternack @mbaram @ThomasHuchon
A quick clarification, I removed "in 2017" in article title - Emerdata was incorporated in 2017 and Erik Prince's business partner Chun Shun Ko was appointed Director on January 28, 2018, which is noted in article, so this is a recent business partnership
