Please educate me.
I read that when Crowdstrike was involved with the DNC server it was not a public NASDAQ company and it’s primary owner was a Russian/Ukrainian. Dmitri Alperovitch. It is now based in California and is a large company, but in 2015-16 it wasn’t.
Crowdstrike now 2019, and Crowdstrike then 2016 are two very different things.
Crowdstrike was also involved in false reports in the past

They were basically obscure, DNC linked, Russian/Ukraine linked, foreign born controlled in 2016. They have been ‘wrong’ about ‘Russian’ attacks in the past.
You stated things about Crowdstrike in 2019, but failed to review what they were in 2015 and 2016, and failed miserably to give an explanation why one company, who never gave a final report, was the ‘sole’ reviewer of the DNC server. A company who wasn’t ‘huge’ in 2015 and 2016.
You're right that it didn't go public until this year, but by 2015 it was a rapidly growing company well known in its field.
The company was founded by a couple of executives from McAfee who had grown frustrated by McAfee's approach to cyber security.
Alperovich was one of those executives. He was born in Russia (Moscow, not Ukraine), and came to the US with his family when he was 15.
They were basically obscure, DNC linked, Russian/Ukraine linked, foreign born controlled in 2016.
Or you could say they were a rapidly growing firm founded by well-regarded, mainstream American cyber security executives with no known links to Ukraine or the DNC.
...failed miserably to give an explanation why one company, who never gave a final report, was the ‘sole’ reviewer of the DNC server.
Of course, they weren't the sole reviewer.
They provided the FBI all of their forensic materials including server and disk images. The FBI did their own, independent investigation.
