Well, one example that is very appropriate, because it illustrates both the original discovery and the whole nature of this relationship, is an employee named Ali Yassine. I usually try not to name people, but I feel that it's important for you to know this for the purposes of looking into it. He was a full stack developer for SCL Group. On his public GitHub page, he had code that came out of AggregateIQ. I know this because I found it within AggregateIQ's code base, and it was marked as being authored by an AggregateIQ employee named Koji. So you have SCL and AggregateIQ that supposedly have no relationship but both working with the same code base. Then, further on down in the code base, there is a field that says “client”, and written in there is “Cambridge Analytica”. Now, I can't see why SCL Group would be saying that Cambridge Analytica is a client of theirs. They basically own Cambridge Analytica. SCL Group is the mother ship on top of that. The only reasonable explanation to me is that AggregateIQ would have been the one putting Cambridge Analytica as the client, then the code being passed to SCL Group, and that just not being changed immediately. There's a little triangle going on there.
I can also tell you that the GitLab logs very clearly show that with the Ripon project, which was primarily developed for Ted Cruz's 2016 campaign, the very initial seeds of it were downloaded from the domain scl.ripon.us, placed in the GitLab, and developed and evolved from there. Scl.ripon.us is a domain underneath Alexander Nix's name. He's the one who is registered under the WHOIS records. That's another example of code flowing from one to the other.
Also, there are examples that Cambridge Analytica has put forward, through their public statements, of data that they used. More recently, I guess they felt pressure to be transparent about where the data came from. They admitted that they got the RNC Data Trust data. The RNC IDs are all over the place in the fields, categories, targeting scripts, and parsers that are present in AggregateIQ's repository as well as in their documentation. So if data [Technical difficulty—Editor] directly from one to the other, they are certainly dealing with the same type of data.
