💥 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
UPDATE: Emerdata Ltd created by SCL/Cambridge Analytica's Julian Wheatland, with Erik Prince's business partner Chun Shun Ko appointed director Jan '17 - just added Rebekah Mercer & Jennifer Mercer as directors, along w/Alexander Nix HT @SoftWarmKitties beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/109118…
CA folks - something going on with Wheatland's Emerdata, Mercers just became directors, along with Erik Prince's business partner 👆🏼
@carolecadwalla @annmarlowe @profcarroll @J_amesp @peterjukes @brexit_sham
Typo in tweet - should say Chun Shun Ko appointed January 2018 (sigh)
Emerdata Ltd director Ahmad Ashraf Hosny Al Khatib who was appointed on January 23, 2018, lists his nationality as ‘citizen of Seychelles’, where Erik Prince had his Jan 2017 meeting. HT @braille
medium.com/@wsiegelman/ca…
UPDATE: a new company related to the SCL/Cambridge Analytica & Mercer Emerdata has been created - Firecrest Technologies Limited, incorporated on March 7, 2018, Alexander Nix is director, Emerdata is ‘person with significant control.’ HT @patrickLSimpson beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/112389…
In Sept 2017 Alexander Nix & Steve Bannon spoke at a Hong Kong conference run by CLSA, which is part of Citic Securities and China's state-owned Citic Group - which is a 28.4% owner of Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group
Emerdata Jan 23, 2018 filings:
- Julian Wheatland & Alexander Tyler ceased ownership
- Johnson Chun Shun Ko, Cheng Peng, Ahmad Al Khatib & Alexander Nix became directors
- GBP 1,912,502 shares issued
- Pre-dates Mercers
- is Chun Shun Ko new owner?
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/109118…
Chart: Emerdata Ltd - the new Cambridge Analytica/SCL Group? CA's Nigel Oakes said Emerdata was set up a year ago to acquire CA/SCL, now two Mercers are on the board, with Erik Prince's business partner Chun Shun Ko, who has close ties to the Chinese gov't

Two stories today about UAE selling off two huge NYC real estate investments

One story is about Abu Dhabi government fund & Tishman Speyer putting the Chrysler Building on the market - Abu Dhabi Investment Council had paid $800 million for a 90% stake
therealdeal.com/2019/01/09/abu…
And a majority stake in 330 Madison Ave owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is heading to the sales market at pricing expected to reach nearly $1 billion
nypost.com/2019/01/08/mos…
I don't know that these two sales have any significance, but the size of the deals seems notable and worth keeping an eye on.

cnn.com/2019/01/09/pol…
In addition to hiring Paul Manafort in Ukraine and working together for over a decade, Rinat Akhmetov has several business ties with Alex Shnaider who was Donald Trump's partner in developing the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto
In '09 Alex Shnaider & Eduard Shyfrin's company Midland Resources sold Ukrainian Zaporizhstal steel mill for $850 mil in '09 financed by VEB, $40mil from sale was earmarked for Trump Toronto & @tomburgis reported $50 mil penalty was owed to Rinat Akhmetov
