    He has been charged by German prosecutors for doing some shady deals with F1 merchandise. It was for stuff worth about a million USD. If convicted he could go to jail for ten years. Kinda funny: Greed always gets them.

    Now that's really serious stuff... he 'rescued' merchandising stuff worth 1.1 million Euro out of a company (of which he was one of the owners) which just had filed bankruptcy, thus, quote, "taking away its only noteworthy asset". The other creditors must have been seriously p***ed off...

    Certainly seems that way!.....

    Willi - What were you thinking? - Didn't he take ~20% of Michaels earnings?

    "Dumb & greedy" would seem to apply here.

    Yup, the man has dozens and dozens of millions (forgot the exact number, was huge anyway), but has to haggle over one additional million. That's what's so funny.

    +1

    Although, I can't help thinking Willi going to jail in Germany is about as likely as there being a USGP next year....

    He'll pay the creditors and some fines/legal expenses and walk...

    It must be Ron Dennis' fault naturally. :)
