I read the news and it is like this.

The guy runs SCRUT that checks vehicle history for used car buyers.

The guy now wants to delve into people background checking business. Something like private investigators la.

But if you think of it in business way, and the cars are people, that means the company has to use all methods to find anything that has this persons name on it. Like CTOS & CCRIS that you can purchase financial records from.

So lets say you SCRUT se7en, and they managed to dig more than whats available on the web. What do you think if those info fell into se7en's enemy or competitor?

That is why "PRIVATE" investigators are called private. This SCRUT guy wanna go public with that kind of service.

And he chose to make use of a politician as a marketing material.

He is not just doing purchasable data like SSM. Reselling CTOS/ CCRIS data is borderline yes and no as there are other companies doing it. He went over it. Which is why PDRM got involved.

Yeah because he used some other manner of getting those data that triggered MCMC & PDRM.
