Anyone who has ever made an fuck flick will tell you, there are some big bucks being made on international deals and if your company does something to to fuck that up, it can cost your company, well everything or in the case of Manwin, millions upon millions of dollars.
I have a friend who works at Manwin and he secretly tells me that Fabian is out and it is because his arrest has cost the company millions in international deals because several companies have pulled out of lucrative deals out of fear of being associated with them. I should mention though, by “out” I mean he’s only out of the public eye. He’s no longer the face or front man for the Manwin investment group.
The reason is, there are some companies, rightfully so, that know that just by doing business with Manwin they are more likely to be scrutinize by various governmental agencies and that is the last thing they need so they opt instead to back off instead.
While my source can’t put an exact dollar figure on it, he did say that he knows of at least 7 different deals gone south as a result of the Fabian arrest. He also confirmed, what we’ve all known all along that Fabian is being treated as the fall guy despite the fact that the authorities are actually looking into the whole company and their business doings, not just his personal affairs as Manwin is publicly saying.
Back in the United States, Manwin, like quite a few others in our business operates under the delusion that just because they aren’t a US based company the US laws don’t apply to them. Funny thing is though, the United States government isn’t quite as stupid as some people tend to think they are and they have laws on the book about those companies, who while a foreign entity, still operate in some capacity in the US. And that is what apparently is going to nail quite a few people at Manwin and no not just Fabian Thylmann.
Furthermore I am told Fabian will be stepping back from the public eye, taking less of a “managing partner” role and will now act as a more of a behind the scenes kind of guy.
However keep in mind he is a part owner in the company so he is not out, as others are suggesting. He as a vested financial interest in Manwin so it’s not like you can just fire the guy and get rid of him. Plus even if they did, who cares. Manwin would just put the next puppet in his place and its business as usual.
Who will take over the public role of “boss” is uncertain at this time but two different people have taken on the role in the interim.
