Using Black Cube, a company run by former officers of Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies, Weinstein also hired two investigators who used false identities to extract information about McGowan — including one woman who pretended to be a women’s rights advocate and secretly recorded multiple meetings with her, the report said. After Farrow uncovered the operative’s identity and showed a photo of her to McGowan, the actress expressed shock, saying that the woman had been “very kind” and that she had been emailed by her as recently as October 23rd.
