When news broke of men at Westminster being targeted by flirtatious WhatsApp messages from mysterious figures calling themselves "Charlie" or "Abi" many assumed it was a classic honeytrap.
Some MPs were quick to point the finger at Russia, China and other "hostile states" suspected of using nefarious tactics to obtain compromising material.
But it now looks a lot less straightforward than that. Security sources are steering us away from the hostile state theory.
So who was behind the scam (if that's what it was)? And what did Charlie and Abi want?
Here is what we know - and, almost as importantly, what we don't know about one of the weirdest, and most troubling, stories to hit Westminster in a long time.
It all began in Bournemouth
Thought this was a story confined to the Conservative Party and William Wragg - the MP who ended his own career after admitting he had been "scared" into sharing colleagues' numbers with someone he met on a dating app?
Think again.
The honeytrapper - as we shall call him, her or them - first popped up on Saturday, 23 September last year in Bournemouth, the opening day of the Liberal Democrats' annual conference.
- Police knew about 'honeytrap' messages last year
- Wragg quits Commons jobs over Westminster honeytrap
- Honeytrap Tory MP right to apologise, says Sunak
We have spoken to two male conference attendees who received messages that day on the gay hook-up app Grindr from someone with the user name M-xl.
M-xl said he was 28 and interested in "chat, friends, hookups". He used a photo of a blonde man appearing in his 20s.
Grindr is a proximity-based app, meaning that you are shown the profiles of those who are nearest to you.
