They have bad PR, they probably will sell all their assets to another company owned by the same owners, which will be so humble to take over the employees.

Just like Blackwater or Xe did.

Probably. At least there is a decent chance they will be pressured to move out of the UK now though.

Does it matter if it's the UK, the Caymans, or Panama? It's still the same operation.

It is embarrassing to have a UK company doing the kind of shit they were doing, and I get the feeling the surface has only been scratched. Some other entity will continue doing the exact same thing, but I would really rather it not be happening in this country.

And they're far from the only ones. There are hundreds of data brokers that are eager to use and abuse your data.
