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.
