Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Former staff from scandal-hit Cambridge Analytica (CA) have set up another data analysis company.
Auspex International will be "ethically based" and offer "boutique geopolitical consultancy" services, according to its website.
CA was shut down by its parent company, SCL Elections, which itself faces criminal charges over failure to supply data when requested.
Auspex will work in the Middle East and Africa initially.
The company was set up by Ahmed Al-Khatib, a former director of Emerdata, which was also created in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal to continue the work it was doing.
In a press release announcing the new company, he says CA's collapse was a "bitter disappointment" to him.

Just to clarify, bribery is not an output of culture but income inequality. It does ride on culture though.
It requires 2 to tango. Since offering a bribe is also an offense, just as taking one, immigrants offering a bribe won't work if native won't take it. So then why would they? Only if there is huge income inequality, and most probably because law enforcer isn't getting paid well.
There is absolutely no basis behind assuming native-born aren't against immigrants from the beginning. They almost always are. This is basic sociology. [wikipedia.org] Logical conclusion is that immigrants are successful because of two reasons: perseverance and undeniable need for their work.
In fact, hatred against immigrants is worst in western countries because most of the Europe is basically a bunch of tribes who got rich over the hard-work and cunning perseverance of its own immigrants.
You are right about the advantages of lack of bribery-culture, but it is not a cause it is a symptom. It is important to make this distinction because otherwise it will crop-up in your country and guess who will be blamed for that? The same group of people who have been blamed for everything by Europeans since forever - out-group.
