#3Ah, this completes the triad for me. I had previously heard FB deny responsibility and Kogan deny responsibility. Hadn't yet heard CA deny responsibility until now.
That's settled then. I guess nobody's at fault! Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan.

Raiding has to come with a sufficient reason for those raided to believe the raiding party already has at least a portion of the material, either obtained through interception or inside sources.
The idea is that the people being raided will hand over as much as possible because it’s in their own best interest - knowing that anything they don’t produce may be in the material already obtained, making them liable for destroying it.
A late and preannounced raid without any material obtained beforehand is useless.
(It should be noted that there is no need to actually obtain any material if you can make the people raided believe you have some of the material)

They may have deleted the data, but missed mentions of the data, or conversations that imply the use of such data, in internal emails, etc.

I was just reading this article about Kogan https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/24/cambridge-...
The article is a bit confusing for me, it suggests that Kogan initially went to the parent company of CA and asked for $500,000 for the data+modelling, and they refused?
It's not entirely clear, but at some point some money must have changed hands for the work, the thing that surprises me the most is even with figures like $500k being bandied about, is that the going rate for stuff like this these days?
