💥Cambridge Analytica Just Filed For US Bankruptcy - and the filings note that Emerdata is footing the legal bills for the CA and SCL bankruptcies buzzfeed.com/ryanmac/cambri… via @RMac18
The bankruptcy filing for Cambridge Analytica notes that the American entity had assets of about $101,000 to $500,000 and liabilities between $1,000,0001 and $10 million
buzzfeed.com/ryanmac/cambri…
Here's the Cambridge Analytica bankruptcy filing, the section 'All other names debtor used in the last 8 years' includes a company called "Anaxi Solutions Inc."
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4466…
In addition to Cambridge Analytica LLC US the following have bankruptcy proceedings in progress:
SCL USA Inc.
SCL Group Limited
SCL Analytics Limited
SCL Commercial Limited
SCL Social Limited
SCL Elections Limited
Cambridge Analytica(UK) Limited
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4466…
Rebekah Mercer and Jennifer Mercer have signed the written consent document and are listed as 'The Board' and 'The Preferred Majority Interest' for Cambridge Analytica Holdings LLC
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4466…
The corporate ownership statement for Cambridge Analytica LLC lists direct ownership held by two companies:
Emerdata Limited - 89.5% direct interest
SCL Elections Limited - 10.5% direct interest

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4466…
Here's the SCL USA Inc bankruptcy filing which lists 100% direct interest by SCL Elections Limited
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4466…
In addition to Emerdata Limited and its subsidiary Firecrest Technologies (both still active), there appears to be another SCL/CA company missing from the list filing for bankruptcy - SCL Insight Ltd - is not included in the listing below
Here's the chart I created of Emerdata Ltd & subsidiary Firecrest Technologies Ltd
medium.com/@wsiegelman/ch…
Here's the chart created with @annmarlowe of the SCL and Cambridge Analytica company and shareholder structure (before filing for bankruptcy)
medium.com/@wsiegelman/sc…
As noted above, SCL Insight Limited is not mentioned in the bankruptcy filings, and today they posted new filings dated 1 May 2018, SCL Group Limited ceases control and is replaced by Nigel Oakes as person with significant control
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/103733…
An additional note that one related company (originally set up with Nigel Oakes as Director from 1991-1992) is still active and not included in the bankruptcy filings - Retail Dynamics (although it's not clear if there is any current connection to SCL/CA)
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/026742…
And finally, the piece I wrote, which should now say Cambridge Analytica's obscure network is shrinking... but a few parts still remain - Emerdata Limited, Firecrest Technologies Ltd, SCL Insight Ltd (and possibly Retail Dynamics)

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

If you want a thread to pull on, consider why the same entity would be behind these listed sites: americanstrawpoll.com/img/
[ web.archive.org/web/2018100119… ]
Why would someone be interested in the data generated by the public interacting with those sites?
#CA #AIQ #SCL #PG #LD #AS #WPA
And, yeah, the "neverhillary" section is in reference to a previously active site "neverhillary2016.com" (a domain which I have since taken over ownership of after they let it lapse).
Here's a hint, "LoudDoor" is a bigger player than people realize.

“Cambridge Analytica ...had had the [stolen] Clinton emails more than a month before they were published by WikiLeaks.”

Savor the implications. 🤗

It is fitting that Trump has been forced into retreat by babies. Cruelty should never be mistaken for strength.
‼️Be Smart2‼️

The dystopian Trump Admin is weaponizing gov’t by eviscerating regs that protect the 98% (those w/o money & power), & they’re weaponizing bureaucracy, in order to use it against everyone they don’t like, whether it’s immigrants or poor people or DEMs.

A new RU influence operation has surfaced that mirrors some of the activity of an internet firm that the FBI says was deeply involved in efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. elections, a cybersecurity firm says.

Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach

Cambridge Analytica who worked with Trump’s team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of FB profiles of US voters, in the tech giant’s biggest ever data breach, and used them to build a powerful software program to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
They used personal information taken without authorization in early 2014 to build a system that could profile individual US voters, in order to target them with personalised political advertisements.
