“#Cambridge Analytica ex-boss banned from running companies<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The former boss of Cambridge Analytica, the political consulting firm brought down by a scandal over how it obtained Facebook<\/a> users\u2019 private data, has been banned from holding company directorships for seven years.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Insolvency Service said Thursday that Alexander Nix is banned from running companies after he permitted Cambridge Analytica\u2019s parent firm, SCL Elections, and connected firms to \u201cmarket themselves as offering potentially unethical services to prospective clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK-based Cambridge Analytica was accused of playing a key role in the 2014 breach of 87 million Facebook users\u2019 personal data. The company denied it used the data for Trump\u2019s 2016 election campaign, but some former employees have disputed that. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that it was \u201centirely possible\u201d the social media data ended up being used in Russian propaganda efforts.<\/p>\n

Cambridge Analytica and other connected firms under Nix\u2019s leadership filed for bankruptcy in 2018.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Insolvency Service said Thursday that investigators\u2019 inquiries confirmed that \u201cSCL Elections had repeatedly offered shady political services to potential clients over a number of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unethical services offered by the companies included bribery or honey trap stings, voter disengagement campaigns, obtaining information to discredit political opponents and spreading information anonymously in political campaigns,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlexander Nix\u2019s actions did not meet the app<\/a>ropriate standard for a company director and his disqualification from managing limited companies for a significant amount of time is justified in the public interest,\u201d said chief investigator Mark Bruce.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
