Question: Investigate Cambridge Analytica: Search SEC EDGAR for "Cambridge Analytica 8-K, 10-K, or liquidation filings from 2021-2022 with litigation settlement disclosures". SEC liquidation filings legally require disclosure of material litigation settlements and court-ordered distributions, potentially revealing sealed case resolutions.. Report any findings as factual claims with dates and evidence.
Date: 2026-04-08
The investigation found no Cambridge Analytica SEC EDGAR filings or liquidation reports with litigation settlement disclosures for 2021-2022, as the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in May 2018 and ceased operations at that time. Cambridge Analytica LLC was liquidated under Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee Salvatore LaMonica, who reported minimal assets available for creditors. The bankruptcy estate had liabilities of $1-10 million against assets of only $100,001-$500,000.
The significant litigation settlement activity in 2021-2022 related to Cambridge Analytica occurred through Meta Platforms (Facebook), not through Cambridge Analytica's bankruptcy estate. In December 2022, Meta agreed to pay $725 million to settle a class action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, which was approved by Judge Vince Chhabria in March 2023. This settlement represented the largest data privacy class action recovery in U.S. history, but the funds came from Meta, not from any Cambridge Analytica liquidation proceedings or settlement disclosures, as Cambridge Analytica itself had been defunct since 2018 with minimal recoverable assets.
