I am not trying to defend him or anything, I know nothing about this guy.
But, according to the Wikipedia article, he stepped down from tönnies, he only inherited the wealth from his father, his brother now runs the business.
So he doesn't have that much to do with the tönnies business.
Interesting, I'll read up on that.
Edit: yeah no. He stepped down but holds a significant share in tonnies. And just for kicks: if you speak German read the controversy section on Wikipedia. Atrocious.
