Part of the tail of this big dog that we've grabbed is the illegal end, so we just see these guys as dodgy operators who are out to do dodgy things, yet they get hired by NATO to do dodgy things on behalf of the Canadian people. Now they've morphed into Emerdata, which seems to be all the same players, but they also include financial links to Blackwater, the mercenary group, and they've worked with Black Cube, Israeli black operators.
How are we to navigate a space where a large corporate interest can do completely illegal things in one context and then be brought in by governments to do favours for them in others?
