Emerdata Limited is a political consulting company based in London, formed in 2017 after filing for insolvency of Cambridge Analytica.
[citation needed] Cambridge Analytica was before partially owned by their family, including their father Robert Mercer, a computer scientist who made contributions to brown clustering.
[2] The Federal Trade Commission of the United States has imposed to sue Cambridge Analytica after misusing data scraped from 87 million unwitting social media users.
[3][4] The internal administrators (during the David Carroll case) of Emerdata Limited have been accused of misleading an adjudicator according to the High Court of England and Wales.
Adjudicator Robert Hildyard, who had earlier granted Cambridge Analytica a legal motion to be put into administration, "wasn't told" that administrators of High Court (Vincent Green and Mark Newman of liquidator Crowe LLP) were, allegedly, not "independent" of Cambridge Analytica.
