Shortly after I published story on Emerdata and director Johnson Ko's connection to Erik Prince, I received info about a Hong Kong company linked to Cambridge Analytica & headed by someone named 'Peng' (similar to Emerdata director Cheng Peng) - THREAD /1
medium.com/@wsiegelman/ca…
On January 23 2018, Cheng Peng was appointed director, date of birth is April 1987 (approx 31 yrs old) and address is 2213-14, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen's Road Cenral, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong /2
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/109118…
Information published to date on Cheng Peng has only identified that "the address is the same as Luk Fook Financial Services, the parent company of the firm (Luk Fook Securities) that helped Frontier place new shares last year" /3
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A website for a company called Coinage Labs listed Cambridge Analytica as a partner & listed Sandy Peng as CEO - the site coinagelab.org is no longer available (and not archived by Wayback Machine) however I took a few screenshots, including this partner page /4
Here's screenshot of Coinage Labs team with Sandy Peng CEO - Peng was former partner at Reorient Capital - Chun Shun Ko, Emerdata Ltd director was executive director of Reorient Group, where he did $350 mil deal w/Alibaba’s Jack Ma and other investors /5
Sandy Peng is listed elsewhere as CEO of Ucan Group, a leading a mobile games company in Hong Kong that launched a Bitcoin mobile game platform /6

a 2014 press release "Ucan.com Embraces Bitcoin as HK Mingles with Digital Currency Elites" says Ucan.com's CEO Sandy Peng, voices her views on Hong Kong as Asia's 'Bitcoin Capital' - indicating Bitcoin focus /7
en.acnnewswire.com/press-release/…
Unfortunately I didn't get screenshots of other pages on the Coinage Labs site, which was partnering with Cambridge Analytica, describing the business, but given the name and Peng's background, it may have had a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency focus /8
There's no confirmation Sandy Peng is the same Cheng Peng, director of Emerdata Limited, however Sandy Peng was CEO of Coinage Labs which listed Cambridge Analytica as a partner & the site is now down, raising questions about what kind of partnership they had formed with CA /END
NYT: a woman with the same name is the chief executive of a publishing and online game company located in the same Hong Kong office tower as Frontier Services. In 2016, Mr. Ko’s brokerage company said it would buy a stake in Ms. Peng’s company, Culturecom.
nytimes.com/2018/04/10/us/…
NYT👆🏼identified same Ms. Peng I described in thread above who may be new director of Emerdata & links to Ko and Frontier Services, screenshot in tweet below notes Peng is CEO of UCan operating under HK listed Culturecom Ltd, mentioned in NYT story above

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.

Manafort intended for polling data to go to Ukrainian oligarchs Serhiy Lyovochkin & Rinat Akhmetov - Manafort wrote in an August '16 email he expected $2.4 million payment in Nov 2016 for work done in Ukraine - from backers including Lyovochkin & Akhmetov
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

Thanks to reporting from various sources, we now know that at least 14 GOP lawmakers (nine senators, three governors, and two congressmen, both from CA) are tied up in various segments of Bob Mueller's probe into election interference in 2016.
Six are tied in due to money they got from Russian oligarchs Viktor Vekselberg and Len Blavatnik. They are Sens. Mitch McConnell (MS), Marco Rubio (FL), Lindsey Graham (SC), and John McCain (AZ), along with Govs. John Kasich (OH) and Scott Walker (WI).

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.”
