AggregateIQ, Cambridge Analytica, and Brexit

Gizmodo: AggregateIQ Created Cambridge Analytica's Election Software, and Here’s the Proof. Wow, the tangled web here:

Roughly a week before the EU referendum, Vote Leave inexplicably donated £625,000 to a young fashion design student named Darren Grimes, the founder of a small, unofficial Brexit campaign called BeLeave. According to a BuzzFeed investigation, Grimes immediately gave a “substantial amount” of the cash he received from Vote Leave to AIQ. Vote Leave also donated £100,000 to another Leave campaign called Veterans for Britain, which, according to The Guardian, then paid AggregateIQ precisely that amount.
