They’ve been in the news recently. Harvey Weinstein hired them to find compromising information about some of the women accusing him of assault. A Canadian private equity firm hired them to surreptitiously record a former Ontario Superior Court judge in a sting operation. In May, the U.K. Observer first reported that people connected to President Donald Trump’s inner circle had hired Black Cube to spy on former White House officials who worked for Barack Obama.

The latest chapter in the saga comes from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. It reports that Black Cube spied on Obama officials on behalf of Taiwanese shipping magnate Nobu Su. The firm wanted to find hidden Iranian assets that could be seized in litigation on behalf of the victims of terrorism. There is usually a tidy fee and percentage in identifying such assets in these cases. And Black Cube’s operatives believed former senior White House officials like Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl might know where Tehran’s money was stashed.

WOW.
