Black Cube refused to comment. In New York State, private investigators are required to be licensed, but the Times couldn't find a record of a license for Black Cube or B.C. Strategy. In March 2018, Black Cube and Cambridge Analytica each denied a Cambridge Analytica ex-employee Christopher Wylie's statement that the company had hired Black Cube's services. In April 2018, Brittany Kaiser, the former director of business development for SCL Group, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica affirmed the denials and testified in front of the British Parliament that Black Cube is not the company with which they worked. Shortly after, Wylie testified before the US Senate Judiciary Committee, where he recanted his previous statements and denied that Black Cube was involved. Former CEO of Cambridge Analytica Alexander Nix also testified in front of British Parliament and denied working with Black Cube. In May 2018, Black Cube was accused of using false identities to seek damaging information about former Obama administration officials and help the Trump administration undermine the Iran nuclear deal. Black Cube has responded by stating that it has no relation to the Trump administration, to Trump aides, or to the Iran nuclear deal. In August 2018, "The New Yorker" connected Black Cube's research to a memo circulated in the Trump White House in early 2017 alleging former Obama officials 'conspired with reporters' "to undermine President Trump's foreign policy" in hopes of saving Obamacare and the Iran nuclear deal. In October 2018, Haaretz newspaper revealed that Black Cube's activities were aimed at tracking transfers of Iranian funds and assets in order to forfeiture them, following US court rulings against Iran in favor of victims of terror attacks. Furthermore, it was published that the goal of the intelligence gathering was tracing unknown Iranian assets and revealing Obama’s administration collaboration with Iran, in violation of U.S or international law, in order to find other possible parties to sue such as banks. Specialising in Asset Tracing and analysis of offshore companies and trusts, Black Cube was hired by Bank Hapoalim (TASE: POLI) to trace the assets of Motti Zisser, who left behind a high debt to the bank. Black Cube provided intelligence of many assets in Europe which were transferred from Mr. Zisser to his son David through a sophisticated network of shell companies. Networks of hotels in Brussels, a hotel and mall district in Amsterdam, apartments in Strasbourg, and a company in Hong Kong were located, among others. As a result of the intelligence gathered by Black Cube, Bank Hapoalim was granted an injunction that applies an effective freeze on all the companies of the Zisser Family.
